Are you good enough to go to Heaven?
I surf various radio station broadcasts while I am driving to avoid advertisements. As soon as a station goes to a commercial I punch one of the preset buttons. It is convenient now that most functions are on the car’s steering wheel. Finding good content, however, is getting harder.
Anyway, I tuned in a Jewish talk show host who was answering a young callers question. I did not hear the question, but the host was certain of his answer. The question must have been about who would be going to heaven because his answer was “anyone, no matter what their religious belief, would be going to heaven if they had lived a good life.” I may not have quoted his words exactly, but his belief was all you had to do was be good and do good things.
Jesus Christ is the Jewish Messiah whose life was prophesied and fulfilled as described in the biblical writings of the Bible. The Jewish people rejected him while he was on earth, and He is still rejected by a large percentage of today’s Jews. They believe in the book of Isaiah, but not chapter fifty-three. Read the chapter for yourself if you have an interest.
If you believe in the heaven described in the Bible, you can only go there if you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Jesus made this very clear in his teaching. Do you believe He lied? I do not, but If you believe in another way then you will not be going to the heaven of the Bible. Read Jesus’ words for yourself in the Gospel of John.
You may be going to another heaven, and I wish you well. I would be interested in hearing from you about your god and your heaven. Where does your god live? Does he or she have commandments? Do you have to do good works or deeds? Do you have an image that you worship? Do you have writings about your god? I want to know. Write me and let me know.
Jesus Christ offers you salvation by grace. No works or good deeds are required. What is so hard about believing in Him? Let me know.
