How come so many feel they are going to make it to heaven ? Doesn't God have a say in this? Do you know what

Question

God would say ? Why do you think you'll be one to go to heaven ?

Answer 1

.God does not want you to perish. He is rich in mercy and compassion, and has provided a way for you to be forgiven. He has invited you to come to Him for a full pardon and receive the free gift of Eternal Life. You cannot earn it, and you do not deserve it, but God is offering it to you as proof of His love for you.

Imagine you are standing in front of a judge, guilty of multiple serious crimes. All the evidence has been presented and there is no doubt about your guilt. Your apologies and good works cannot erase your crimes; therefore you must be punished. The fine for your crime is $250,000 or imprisonment, but you don’t have two pennies to rub together. The judge is about to pass sentence when someone you don't even know steps in and pays your fine for you! The court accepts the money and declares that you are free to go. The law has been satisfied, your debt has been paid in full, and the stranger’s sacrifice was a demonstration of his love for you. That’s what God did for you 2000 years ago.

The Bible says that the God of the Universe became a man (Jesus Christ), and suffered and died on the cross for your sins and mine so that we could be set free. Then he rose again from the dead and defeated death! It's as simple as this—we broke the Law, and Jesus paid our fine.

"God demonstrated His own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)

"Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, being made a curse for us." (Galatians 3:13)

Do you see God’s great love for you? Do you see your need for His forgiveness? Do what He commands and “Repent…that your sins may be wiped out and times of refreshing may come from the Lord.” (Acts 3:19) You must turn away from sin and turn to God. Desire to have NOTHING to do with sin, and surrender your life to the One who can save you. Jesus died to set you free, and then he rose from death to be your Lord. Jesus said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” If you will confess and forsake your sins (repent) and trust in Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord, God will forgive you and you’ll pass from death to life.

If you are not sure how to pray, read and make it your prayer.

What does it mean to "put your faith in Jesus Christ?" It means to personally trust in Jesus the same way you’d trust in a parachute if you had to jump 25,000 feet out of an airplane. You wouldn’t just "believe" in the parachute; you would put it on! In the same way, the Bible says, "Put on the Lord Jesus Christ..." and you will be saved. There are millions of people who "believe" Jesus exists . . . but they have not put on the Savior—there’s a BIG difference. And the difference will be obvious when you “jump” through the door of death.

Today, with all your heart—turn away from sin, and surrender your life to Jesus Christ. Please don’t put it off till later. You may die today and then it will be too late. You may not yet have all the answers to your questions, but better to put on the parachute first and then ask questions, then to pass through the door unprepared, grasping for the parachute when it’s too late. You can pray something like this—"Dear God, today I turn from all my sins (name them), and I put my trust in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. Please forgive me, and grant me your gift of everlasting life. Amen." There is nothing magic about these words—it is the attitude of your heart that God cares about.

God will transform you from the inside out. You will think and feel differently as you learn to trust and obey Him. God will give you new strength to live right and love Him above all else. Read your Bible daily and obey His Word. You can trust God—He loves you and will always be faithful.

Answer 2

I hope I'm one that will go to Heaven. I trust that I'm one that will go to Heaven. Because, I trust in Jesus Christ. I trust that He paid for my sins. And if the sin debt is paid off, then why would I still be held responsible? But God knows me better than I do myself. So, I hope and pray that there is not some subconscious hypocrisy in my heart that would keep me from getting to Heaven. But only God knows. Peace.

Answer 3

yeah I know what you mean,it seems that too many take the role of God and deliberate on who does or does not get to Heaven, here is something to think about,,
when we go before God to be judged there will be three things that will amaze us, first that all the so called pious people who are not in Heaven, secondly all the so called no- hopers that are in Heaven and the thirs great surprise is that you are in Heaven

Answer 4

If you're talking about christians, it's because most have no understanding of their religion beyond a handful of quotations that support their particular vision of it. If they checked, they would find out that the plan is that only 144,000 will be admitted to heaven. Apparently god couldn't get his proposal for expansion past the planning commision.

Answer 5

They are misled. Yes, he has the final say. I have a good idea of what he would say. I don't think that I am going to live forever in heaven.

Answer 6

WHy wouldnt we make it to heaven, God is a god of love and forgiviness everyone who wants to go goes.

Answer 7

FAITH.

John 3:16 -3:21
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[f] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.[g] 19This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God

Answer 8

God does not lie,,He said if you accept Jesus Christ in your heart then you will go,simple as that..You also have to come to Him with your whole heart,you will not want to do things as you did before if Jesus truly lives in your heart..

Answer 9
