Bible Question: I am desperately trying to convince my 2 children that they must believe in Jesus and what he did for us in order that they may enter into heaven. They desperately want proof of everything I'm saying. "How can we be sure that this stuff is not just an interpretation?" "If a person believes that Jesus is our Savior but is obnoxious do they go to heaven, but a person who takes great care of family and little children and does good works all day long for the school, library and comunity but does not believe....is going to hell? How must I answer my children? |
Bible Answer: Greetings You stated "If a person believes that Jesus is our Savior but is obnoxious do they go to heaven, but a person who takes great care of family and little children and does good works all day long for the school, library and comunity but does not believe....is going to hell? How must I answer my children? They say that penicillin is a wonder drug, a great antibiotic, but if you have cancer, it is worthless! You can be the best person in the community, but without Jesus, His sacrifice and shedding of His blood, that person is a lost soul. However, that drunk or that drug addicted person who ripped and robbed everyone they met and were the scum of the earth, when that person responded to the call of the Lord and recieved Jesus as Lord and Savior...their sins, though many...are forgiven and their names are written in the book of life! Also John 3:5-7 How must I answer my children you say...how about through your actions, your testimony, your love and prayers for them, that's one way of doing it. "For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your childre would be unclean, but as it is, the are holy." 1 Corinthians 7:14 God bless you, He really loves you and He will be faithful to your prayers. You do what you can and He will do what you can't do. God bless |
