The Purpose Of Christian Life Update
God Almighty has set forth the conditions and requirements for every one of us to fulfil to be able to make it to heaven. Right from the beginning God has always set standard for man to attain in order to relate, fellowship or live with Him eternally. In Genesis 2; 16,17, And the Lord God commanded (set a requirement and standard for man) the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. (physical and spiritual death, and eternal separation from GOD).
It is either we fulfil His conditions or fall short of it. But we should know that fulfilling His conditions leads to heaven while falling short of it leads to destruction and perdition as it became the portion of many in the Bible. We do not set conditions for God but He and Him only set standard for us.
He is the King in heaven, He is the Lord there, He is the one that reigns and rules in heaven, He is the One that admits people into heaven and the people He accepts into heaven are those who have fully fulfilled His set requirements and conditions.
For you and I to get to heaven we have got to fulfil all of God conditions. And this is made possible through our Lord Jesus Christ. Psalm 15 says, LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? (heaven) Who shall dwell in thy holy hill? (heaven) he that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.
In Psalm 24, a question was also asked, and an answer was given. Who shall ascend into the hill (heaven) of the LORD? Or who shall stand in His holy place? (heaven). He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity.
JESUS CHRIST made it so clear in Matthew 5; 8, it reads, Blessed are the pure in heart : for they shall see God (be with God in heaven ). And Hebrews 12; 14, says, Follow peace with all men, and holiness, WITHOUT which no man shall See the LORD.
