With Heaven In View.
“If you desire to be in heaven then do everything you can to be there.”
“Heaven is only for those who are holy and pure in heart.”
If Jesus were to come today or if today were to be your last day on this planet earth, as a professed Christian, will you be qualify for heaven? Don’t answer yet but rather read on because going by the word of God many who professed to be Christians in their life time but did not do the will of God nor obeyed the totality of the word of God will go to hell for all eternity.
No wonder Jesus gave the stark warning to us all, both to Church members and Church ministers in Matthew 7: 21-24.
“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven ; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock.”
Jesus Christ is telling every one in His Church to know and understand that heaven can only be gained by complete obedience to the word of God in every area of our life so that no one build his life on false hope and false pursuit of heaven only to end up in hell as it has been the fate of many.
None of us should ever think or dream of getting to heaven by chance or by the love and mercy of God in our unholy state. Jesus Christ said doing the will (living a holy and righteous life) of God is the condition for entering into heaven.
