I am very fortunate in this respect because I don't have to worry about heaven any more. You see God promised me that if I would just trust in His Son Jesus Christ, and what He did for me on the cross for my salvation, that He would give me eternal life with Him in heaven as a gift. But He informed me that it must be an undivided trust in His Son, i.e. that I not depend on (anything) that I have done or will plan to do. Now the nice part is, I can't loose it, because I didn't do anything to get it, so I can't do anything to loose it. It all depends on Jesus and what He did for me. Now since Jesus is my Savior he will not be my judge. What I learned was that Jesus paid the price for all my sins, past, present and future, there wasn't a sin that He didn't pay for as long as I believe in Him. I learned that he not only paid for my sins, but for the sins of the whole World. So now it is not a problem of sin, between man and God, but what do you think of Jesus. There is actually one sin that Christ couldn't pay for and that is the sin of rejecting Him. I.e. not believing in, trusting in, or relying on Him solely, as being the only way to get to heaven. (Note) John 14:6 Jesus said to him “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.” One neat part is that when God makes a promis, He can't take the promis back because if He did, the promis would have been a lie, and we all know that God can't lie, if He could He wouldn't be God! I even wrote a poem about it if you would care to read it? CONFIDENCE Are you sure of your eternal home, where you'll spend some billion years? Does the thought of death and it's permanence, arouse your doubts and fears? The Bible cites a dreadful place that doubters won't admire, They'll be cast out by an angry God, into the lake of fire! There's torment there both day and night, no help or place to run. People languish endless years, for rejecting God's dear Son. Jesus is the only way to avoid this awful place. He came and died a horrid death to save the human race. Now knowing this is not enough, your faith must be involved. By trusting in the work of Christ, the curse of sin's absolved. You can claim eternal life, for the Lord has made the promise. He died for you then rose again; don't be as doubting Thomas. You can't appease a Holy God by the puny things you do. God came down in the form of man and paid the price for you. Now Jesus sits on His throne on high, to Him all knees will bend. He will be the Judge to curse you, or, as your Savior He'll defend. Oh listen now the Bible heeds; don't add to the work of Christ! If you depend on what you've done, He'll not be your sacrifice. Trust in Christ, not your present ways; give God the credit due. He says He'll share His home with such, and give His peace to you. By Charles D. Bickett Jr. |
