I don't worry about it. I was a Christian for the first 18 years of my life and worried constantly that I was not going to make the cut!
After I decided not to be a Christian any more, I stopped worrying!!

If you worry about making the cut to heaven, you are on the works program.
The olden Jews were on the works program. You gotta do this and you gotta do that. You shouldn't do this and you shouldn't do that. WE ARE WORKING OUR WAY INTO HEAVEN---
You can't work your way to heaven.
It has to do with what you believe that Jesus did for you personally.
The belief--- not the works.
It was a gift to you.
You don't have to pay back a gift. You take it and be thankful.
Does this come to you all at once? NO it is like a growing experience, the realization comes slowly.
Consider this thought.
The sheep never help the Shepherd.
The Shepherd always helps the sheep.
The Shepherd being God.
The sheep being us.
What kind of a Shepherd needs the sheep's help? DUH!
The religious teach you to be on the works program. Don't be free, do this and do that. Here are some rules for you, here are some regulations for you.
As you go along it sinks into to you.
He did it for you, why? Because He cares for you.
We need the care guy. We are in a very nasty place, the world.
All kinds of bad things happen to us here.
And there are some very nasty people in the world, mean and cruel.
Just the nature of the world and life itself.
Belief is the answer. Just keep believing. Jesus is the Lord.

Hello Selnyk, no one can enjoy their life if they have to worry about where they will be in eternity. God tells us all through the new Testament, which was written by His special appointed Men through Him, that we all sin and fall short of God's expectations. With that no one is worthy of heaven........
That is why God sent His only Son Jesus, to take the place of our sins and die on the cross. When you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior and repent of your sins (turn away from sins), then there is no more worry. You are God's child and you have a place with Him in heaven. It's just that easy.
Of course you are going to mess up again. But you are covered. God loves you because He is the perfect parent. When you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, Jesus gives you The Holy Spirit to lead you and the Bible to teach you what God wants you to know and help you live a life that is joyful and good..
Pray and accept Jesus. Ask him to forgive you. Then you don't have to worry any longer.

Don't care. Life is what you make of it...can be Heaven or Hell...all depends on your action or inaction. Live disrespecting, hating, and thieving life at the expense of others and it'll be Hellish...Live respecting others and the environment, loving those closest to you, and having compassion and empathy for the needy and your life will be Heavenly. It's all in the HERE AND NOW not in the future. PEACE!

No, just the opposite.
Anyone who has come to God through Jesus is given the assurance by the Holy Spirit that their eternal condition is certain.
Romans 8:16,17 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs--heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ ...
So, I enjoy life knowing that I will live for ever in the full life God has prepared for me.

I don't have the slightest worry about that because I believe what God has said in the Bible.
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10 For we are His handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
While a changed life in Christ is characterized by doing good works that glorify God, our salvation is not based upon them but on faith in the sacrifice that Jesus made for our sins.

...I am enjoying life not having to worry about it because I am covered in the blood of Jesus Christ, who paid the penalty for my sin! Hallelujah!
"But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin." (1 John 1:7)

They say Jesus dying gets them into heaven. That means thy can do anything, and get away with it in gods eyes.

Nah, not really. I'm Buddhist, so much of my time is spent on cutting through the tangled web we weave and serving others through compassion and understanding.
