Bible Question:
In a talking with a friend today, we were talking about heaven. I said that sin can not enter heaven, he disagreed with me. Can someone give me scripture to read on this topic? God Bless, Remodeled |
Bible Answer: Remodeled, I would tell anyone who would think otherwise, that, 'All unrighteousness is sin; and every actual sin committed deliberately, and not repented of, effectively denies entrance into God's kingdom of heaven. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Rom 6:23) I would tell anyone that to think that they are able to live for the flesh and yet receive eternal life is to deceive themselves. There are those who feel that they are able to live in sin and then die in Christ, such as the example of the penitent thief. It is true that the wicked deeds done before they accept Christ will not bar them from salvation, but this salvation must be accompanied by repentance and imposed before it is too late. Bless you and your friend, tim |
