Do you think when you get to heaven, God is going to ask you...?

Question

One last question: Do you think when you get to heaven, God is going to ask you...

A. "Did you accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior?"
or
B. "How many people did you love and help during your life on earth?"

I used to believe the answer was "A", but now, after a lot of searching, reasoning and thinking, I believe the answer is "B". I'm willing to bet my immortal soul on it. Are you up for doing that?

schneb you are questioning a guardian angel. i suggest you back off. I do have the power to hurt you badly.

Answer 1

I don't think he'll ask either one. He'll know the answer to both. And I don't think he'll ask us any question at all. I think he will tell us of the opportunities he gave us to spread the gospel or accept the gospel and we rejected them and pronounce his sentence. It's not a trial in which we will get to vindicate ourselves. It's his judgment against us period the end.

Answer 2

You seem to think that this is an either/or type of situation. But the Bible teaches..."Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. 1 John 4:7-8

If you think that just by being a good person and showing love to others you can be saved then you are mistaken. But everyone who has been born again by the Holy Spirit through faith in Jesus will demonstrate God's love towards others.

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23

Answer 3

God will not need to question you about A or B because He knows everything. He even knows how well you kept your commitment to accept Jesus Christ as your God and Savior and how many people you loved and helped during your lifetime, and whether your good deeds were done out of love for God or if they were done to serve yourself. You got to Heaven because God already knew your heart and it was pleasing to Him.

Answer 4

the question is being asked now. Before you get to heaven. If the answer is not "A" why would you want to go to Heaven? In Heaven it's all about "JESUS" not about anything else. Therefore if you don't LOVE HIM and if you don't HELP HIM (by spreading His word) your doing all that in vain. There is no inbetween. If Baal be God then serve him (as you are in answer 'B') but if God be God then serve Him (as you would in answer 'A'), the bible asks the question 'how long will you be stuck between two decisions, you need to choose this day whom you will serve'. Jesus says in His Word, 'No man goes to the Father but by Me'. choose wisely. Your decisions will place your soul eternally in one place or another.

Answer 5

Interesting question... I would say A) because it is backed biblically.... When you accept Christ into your heart you are stating your desire to be like Christ and in doing so you are dying to things of the world and are reborn in Christ, in to the family of God... Heaven is an inheritance that only his famliy is intitled to. Accepting Christ as your Lord and Savour is accepting adoption in to this family... But answer B should be the result of this commitment as being Christ like means that we strive to refelect his character in our lives... :P For reference Read the new testament... books like 1,2 cor, eph, thess, and those all repeat the same things on what it means to have salvation and how tour lives should look if we are reflecting Gods character... :P

Answer 6

I totally agree. Most people perceive that if you accept Christ as the savior, they can get away with whatever they want. As long as they believe in Jesus.

B makes more sense. You're doing good and getting back in return. Karma. And I'm a big subscriber to karma.

Answer 7

Obviously you did not find that in the Bible. No. There will be no questions in Heaven. If you went from A to B, then obviously you have created your own personal religion not based on the Word of God.

A) Acts 16:31
“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved..."

B) Titus 3:5
not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us.

I think you better rethink your doctrine.

Answer 8

By the way the question would come not in heaven but in the hereafter and B would be a criterion by which a man might be judged. As for A, there would not be such a question in the first place!

Answer 9

Does not the Bible say that no one cannot see God at any time and live? How then can persons be in the heavens in front of God when he speaks to them?

Did not Solomon say, "that the heaven of the heavens cannot contain Jehovah, much less this earthly house he has built." 1 Kings 8:27; 2 Chron. 2: 6" And who could retain power to build him a house? For the heavens and the heaven of the heavens cannot contain him, and who am I that I should build him a house except for making sacrificial smoke before him? "

Also consider how Jehovah measures the physical heavens as easily as a man would measure an object by spreading his fingers so that the object lies between the tips of the thumb and the little finger. (Isa 40:12) His dignity is above earth and heaven.” (Ps 148:13 In fact, the Bible reveals that the All Mighty God is full of dynamic energy!
“Raise your eyes high up and see. Who has created these things? . . . Due to the abundance of dynamic energy, he also being vigorous in power, not one of them is missing.”—Isa. 40:26.

Stop and think! Who gave the horse or the athlete his vitality and strength? Who generated the power of gravity by which the rivers flow and the waters fall? Or who set the ceaseless tides in motion to time indefinite? Who created the fabulous furnace of the sun with its internal temperature estimated at more than 40,000,000 degrees Fahrenheit? And who concentrated such incomprehensible energy as is bound up in minute atoms, the invisible particles of all physical matter?

So can we see God? According to the Bible , Jehovah God said to Moses At

Exodus 33:20 "“You are not able to see my face, because no man may see me and yet live.”

Also to at (John 1:18) "No man has seen God at any time; the only-begotten god who is in the bosom [position] with the Father is the one that has explained him."

Jesus himself said, (John 6:46) "Not that any man has seen the Father, except he who is from God; this one has seen the Father."

(1 John 4:12) "At no time has anyone beheld God. If we continue loving one another, God remains in us and his love is made perfect in us."

Now, consider the Bible view and God's purpose regarding the earth:

Matt. 6:10: “Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth.”

Ps. 37:29: “The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.” See also Ecclesiastes 1:4; Psalm 104:5.

Gen. 1:27, 28: “God proceeded to create the man in his image, in God’s image he created him; male and female he created them. Further, God blessed them and God said to them: ‘Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving upon the earth.’”
(Thus God indicated his purpose to have the earth filled with the offspring of Adam and Eve as caretakers of a global paradise. After God had magnificently designed this earth for human habitation, making it unique among all the planets that man has examined with his telescopes and spaceships, did the Creator simply abandon his purpose, leaving it forever unfulfilled because of Adam’s sin?)

Isa. 45:18: “This is what Jehovah has said, the Creator of the heavens, He the true God, the Former of the earth and the Maker of it, He the One who firmly established it, who did not create it simply for nothing, who formed it even to be inhabited: ‘I am Jehovah, and there is no one else.’” (See also Isaiah 55:10, 11.)

What kind of people will God favor with endless life on earth?

Zeph. 2:3: “Seek Jehovah, all you meek ones of the earth, who have practiced His own judicial decision. Seek righteousness, seek meekness. Probably you may be concealed in the day of Jehovah’s anger.”

Ps. 37:9, 11: “Those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth. . . . The meek ones themselves will possess the earth, and they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.”
