"Melissa bothered and
bewildered"
Hey melissa I know what you mean I've
been there and its always good to check your self the fear of
the Lord is the beginning of all wisdom. I'm not sure what you
watched but I felt the same way years ago when I read choo
thomas heaven is so real. I go to spiritlessons.com and listen
to experiences of heaven and hell. The ones that saw hell say
the same thing for instances one man went to hell for
drinking. The bottom line is Jesus did pay EVERYTHING. So did
the man just go to hell because he drank NO but that was the
sin he chose over Jesus. If he were to give up drinking would
he have gone to heaven NO because works don't get you into
heaven . It's the CONDITION OF THE HEART! Either you give it
to Jesus or you don't. Am I going to heaven because I don't
sin no way because I do but because JC paid the price and
ransom me I am pure and I am holy only because he is and
he is in me. Are we supposed to pay our tithe are we supposed
to give to the poor are we supposed to not lie of course but
is that what gets us into heaven no. When people go to heaven
and jesus says you must be perfect remember Jesus is not
saying give to the poor and be perfect he is saying give your
heart to me and be made perfect. He died because we are
sinners does that give us an excuse to sin no but we do,if we
could be holy and perfect on our own he wouldn't of had to die
but he did have to because all sin and come short of the glory
of God. We are supposed to check our heart look at our motives
humble ourselves and when we do like you are doing satan
doesn't like it so he makes us condemn ourselves that we are
not doing enough to get into heaven but it is a trick because
nothing can get us there but Jesus. So when he says be without
blemish if you are his then you are. I listen to Bob Jones and
his testimony about heaven he said one man went to hell
because of his soil. What! His soil that doesn't make sense
could you go to hell because you like to work in your garden?
Of course not! Its the HEART! What was in his heart. His yard
was his idol, he never thought about Jesus he loved his yard.
To a real christian that sounds silly but I know plenty of
people who say there christians and they idolize all kinds of
things jewelry,there house,food,there beauty. Can you like
those things yes but there are plenty of people who chose
those things over Jesus in there heart. We have to take Jesus'
word very seriously. When he said don't love the things of
this world than apparently there are people that do or he
wouldn't have said it. Remember the works we do are him in us
anyway its never us,he always gets the honor and credit
because in the bible it says man is like filthy rags but
because of him we are made clean and pure. When we receive our
reward in heaven we will take our crowns off and lay them at
his feet because he is our all in all!Try to do your best
because you love him not because you think you have to.
God bless you,
Candace
