Bible Question: why does most gospel messages present JESUS as a ticket to heaven when john 17:3 says that eternal life is that wekhow the only true god |
Bible Answer: goodguy golfer, Just a few other scriptures that I feel go well with your question. Matt 7:14-15 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. KJV 15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. KJV Matt 7:22-23 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. KJV Matt 19:23-24 23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. 24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. KJV Because you remember that before Iesous (Jesus) says to the rich man in verse 21, Matt 19:21 21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. KJV And he was not willing to do that in verse 22, Mark 10:22 22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions. KJV And for the word (rich) it renders this meaning in the original Greek. NT:4146 plousios (ploo-see'-oce); adverb from NT:4145; copiously: KJV - abundantly, richly. NT:4145 plousios (ploo'-see-os); from NT:4149; wealthy; figuratively, abounding with: KJV - rich. NT:4149 ploutos (ploo'-tos); from the base of NT:4130; wealth (as fulness), i.e. (literally) money, possessions, or (figuratively) abundance, richness, (specifically) valuable bestowment: KJV - riches. NT:4130 pletho (play'-tho); a prolonged form of a primary pleo (pleh'-o) (which appears only as an alternate in certain tenses and in the reduplicated form pimplemi); to "fill" (literally or figuratively [imbue, influence, supply]); specifically, to fulfil (time): KJV - accomplish, full (... come), furnish. Matt 6:24 24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. KJV NT:3126 (mammon) mamonas (mam-o-nas') or mammonas (mam-mo-nas'); of Aramaic origin (confidence, i.e. wealth, personified); mammonas, i.e. avarice (deified): KJV - mammon. We need to know Iesous (Jesus) in our hearts and have a personal relationship with him through the scriptures. We can't trust in material things and money. Also the scripture says there will be false prophets. And there are many out there right now. Seek him daily in prayer, and ask for wisdom and understanding of the Word in Truth. There's your ticket. Matt 11:29-12:1 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. KJV I hope I have helped. In the Father and the Son of pure Love and Wisdom and understanding. Your Friend, SERENETIME |
