Are you good enough to go to Heaven?
Take this quick test to find out.
1. Have you ever told a lie? Even white lies.
2. Have you ever stolen anything, regardless of the value? Even if it was for a good cause, like charity.
3. Have you ever used God’s name in vain?
4. Have you ever looked with lust, or had lustful thoughts? God sees lust as adultery. Matthew 5:28
5. Have you kept the First Commandment? It’s “You shall have no other gods before me.” Which means that you’re to love and seek God above all else, with ALL your heart, soul, mind, and strength, AT ALL TIMES.
The Bible says in Psalm 14:2-3 that there is nobody that seeks God, and that all have turned aside, and become corrupt. There is NONE that does good, no, not one. So, if you said that you have kept this commandment, you’ve also broken the 9th commandment by lying.
6. Have you ever made a god to suit yourself, a god you were more comfortable with? A god that tolerated white lies and stealing for a good cause? A god that wouldn’t punish people with an eternal Lake of Fire? That is a form of Idolatry, along with carving idols out of wood or some other material. God Almighty does not tolerate any sin, for any reason, and will punish people with an eternal Lake of Fire.
So, if you’ve said yes to ANY of those questions, then you have failed the test. And those are just 6 of God’s Ten Commandments.
So, on the Day of Judgment, will you be found innocent or guilty? Where will you go, Heaven or the Lake of Fire? Be honest. You know that on the Day of Judgment that you will be found guilty of breaking God’s law and therefore end up in the Lake of burning Fire and Brimstone.
However, it doesn’t have to be that way. God made a way by which you could escape the day of wrath and go to heaven.
God sent Jesus Christ to die on the cross 2000 years ago to take the punishment for your sin so you could be set free from the penalty that God’s law demands.
All that is required of you is that you repent of your sins(confess your sins and forsake them) and trust Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. This is the only way to avoid going to the Lake of Fire. No amount of good deeds will get you to heaven.
Please recognize the urgency of this. This could be your very last chance to repent and accept Jesus Christ. Today is the Day of Salvation, and now is the appointed time. Do not put this off, as you could die this very day. You could die 5 minutes from now. 1 minute from now. And if you die before repenting of your sins and receiving Jesus Christ, you will end up in the eternal Lake of Fire.
Here’s a prayer that you can pray to receive Jesus Christ:
\"Dear God, I understand that I have broken Your Law and sinned against You. Please forgive my sins. Thank You that Jesus suffered on the cross in my place. I now place my trust in Him as My Savior and Lord. In Jesus\' name I pray. Amen.\"
After you’ve received Jesus Christ, read the Bible daily, obey what you read, pray to God every day, and keep your faith in Jesus Christ and stick with Him all the days of your life, no matter what happens, as all Christians will suffer persecution, trials, and other forms of suffering. Persecutions may include exclusions from certain groups, old friends turning their backs on you, your family rejecting you, being falsely accused of evil, being insulted, and all other things that may result of becoming a Christian. However, you are to remain faithful to Jesus Christ, no matter what, because you can forfeit your salvation by turning your back on Jesus Christ after having first accepted Him as your Savior and Lord.
