Christians- Do you know how hard it is to enter Heaven?

Question

I do. It is no easy road. Jesus said it was hard. God has high standards. I know there will be a lot of people and Christians who think they will enter and like Jesus said, only to have the door shut in their faces. Do you take your sins to God everyday and ask for forgivness? I take my sins to God a lot, and ask for forgivness. The things I have to work on is my swearing, judging people, my temper, talking behind peoples backs. I am being honest here. I am working on it. I can be very hard. But I know I have to stop those sins completly, or I risk hell, and I do not want to risk it. Yes Jesus did die for our sins, but to those that did not know Christ then if they take them to God God will forgive them. Apostile Paul said if you become child of God and if you continue to sin God forbid. I have to turn from those sins 100% if I want to end up in Heaven with Jesus. Too many Christians think that once saved always saved. That is rubbish.

Jesus said that not everybody who calls me Lord will enter the kingdom of God, but those that do the will of my Father who is in Heaven. So Christians if you are a slanderer and abuse people stop it now, and if you backstab people stop it and take it to God, as Jesus said no slanderer will enter the kingdom of God. I am going to ask God to help me as I cannot do it by myself. God will help me if I am willing to turn from them and I will world hard on it and try my best. So Christians if you swear and yell at anybody repent and stop it, because it is not worth losing your salvation over that.

Answer 1

* No, Christians do not know this. Most christians are not even aware that they are not even Christians according to the bible.

The bible says one must be baptized and that at the moment of rising from the waters of baptism is when your new life starts, but they have never read any of the following passages in the bible and declare the bible says baptism is not necessary . Mark16:16 Acts 2:38 Romans 6:4,5,6 1 Corinthians 12:13, Galations 3:27 Colossians 2:12 and 1 Peter 3:21

They also have not read what Paul said about changing the word of God in other words preaching something not in the bible Galatians1:8,9

A gfew Christians do not even know God wants them to attend the assembly called going to church in modern times. Hebrews 10:25

some never attend the assembly, have never been baptized, but hear voices, dreams weird dreams and claim God has told them the world wil end in such and such. These are decieved and no ttruth is in them. Galatians 1:8,9 applies to them also**

Answer 2

Friend, I say this as humble as I know how, You quote Paul, Apostle Paul also said he that is born of God can not sin, & it goes on to say if we sin, we have an advocate, The things you mention is NOT SIN, but the attributes of unbelieve, The only sin there is, is UNbelieve. These other things are just attributes of unbelieve, I myself, know what you are trying to say. But if you want to use Apostle Paul teachings, He also said That we were predesinated before the foundation of the world. There is only One source of eternal life, In Ephesians 4:30 The Bible says Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption, & not until you backslide, once you are sealed, it is until your redemption, No, friend I don't believe in the part that many tries to teach, Once saved you still can do anything you want to, But I do believe once you are sealed, That you will not sin willfully, The spirit wars against the flesh. But there is coming a day soon that the Bride will be made perfect Eph. 4:12

Answer 3

You raise good points. This is an area that is often overlooked maybe due to the fact that we are so thrilled when someone accepts Jesus that we leave the rest to chance...? I do not know why there is a problem in understanding that the Christian way of life is difficult but at the same time only made possible through Christ in which we can do all things.

Answer 4

Yes.

I recently got baptize and although I know that getting baptized in water is just the beginning, I am also aware that there is a very long road yet to be walked. It is very very difficult for mankind to be righteous and even in biblical days, God didnt call many people righteous.

Where God is surrounded by His heavenly and righteous Angels in Heaven, we on earth are surround buy sin in all forms. For us human beings to then try and be holy by denying ourselves on earth (Worldy Behaviour) and taking up the coat of Christ is a difficult behaviour to adapt to. Only God Almighty can help us and give us the heart to do this.

Sin cannot enter heaven and so we have to be 100% obedient to the Holy Spirit that dwells in us and let the Holy Spirit direct our every move. Only God can live Godly so we need God in us to achieve what He wants us to achieve in order for us to make it to the Kingdom of Heaven.

Answer 5

Where in the Bible does it say that? It says in the Bible that ALL come short of the glory of God. ALL of us are sinners. God does not expect perfection from us,he wants us to accept the fact that Jesus (who He sent) died for our sins in order to pay for them. What you are saying is that Jesus died in vain because none of us will be able to enter heaven on our own merit. Only through Jesus.

I guess I am one of the "too many" Christians that think once saved always saved. Maybe one of the "too many" too that read my Bible about Salvation and going to heaven then too.
And definately one of the Christians who KNOWS I am still a sinner, but I am still going to Heaven.

Answer 6

i will attempt to sparkling this up for you. Nowhere interior the Bible does God say that throughout the time of basic terms Christians enter heaven. And nowhere does Jesus say that Christians are the only ones who enter heaven. Jesus specifically says: "Very rather I inform you, whoever hears my be conscious and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal existence and heavily isn't judged, yet has crossed over from death to existence". (John 5:24) Jesus makes no 'distinction' of believers. He says that people who have self assurance in HIM and have self assurance that God sent HIM will acquire eternal existence. This makes it an "guy or woman" concept, not a collection or so-called 'faith'. the only time we are able to be attentive to precisely the place we are going, is as quickly as we stand before God, provide Him an account of our existence, and in basic terms then will He make the determination. till then, we are able to wager, contemplate, ask your self and ask a zillion questions, yet will in no way be attentive to the respond till the time is handy. God has lots extra compassion than we are able to ever understand or perhaps think of. He sent His in basic terms Son to earth and sacrificed His existence as "a ransom for many", elevating Him up and giving Him lower back His former glory.

Answer 7

The Almighty YHVH created this world very good. Once man sinned, he could no longer meet the requirements of YHVH. Because of His great love for man, He send His son the Savior. The Savior's name means YHVH is my Savior!--YAHOSHUA! The only way one can have his sins taken care of is to invite the Savior in to carry them. If a person chooses to remain attached to their sins, they will be consumed in the cleansing fire the Almighty will send to cleanse this world so He can make it new! How could the Almighty be more generous?

Answer 8

It is hard only for Christians. We Hindus has to chant the mantra 'ram..ram...ram..' at the time of the end.

Answer 9

~ Good job, It is hard to follow the 'narrow path'... keep 'short-accounts' with the Lord... confess your sins... repent... and keep on fighting the good fight... run the race to win!

Answer 10

yes and you are right
