If you have lived a very sinful life, but repented and lived the remainder of your life fruitful?

Question

Will you spend eternity in paradise?

Answer 1

If you have repented, asked for forgiveness, and asked Jesus Christ to come into your heart, then you'll be in paradise one day.

Answer 2

Read about the Apostle Paul who imprisoned Christians and had some beheaded. The apostle Paul was a murderous pharisees among the Jews. Yet when God turned his life around, he did awesome works for the Lord. In fact, God took Paul's spirit out of his body and allowed him to see heaven and told him not to tell anyone what he saw. Yes, if Paul could make it into heaven, so can anyone else. The Blood of Jesus Christ is greater than any man's sins. That why He died for all sinners no matter what they have done in life, they can find forgiveness of sins and eternal life.

Answer 3

When we are born we come into this world as a descendant of Adam.Adam sinned and became spiritually dead to God.Satan from there on out became Adams master and Adam became a slave to sin.Since like begets like i.e. cats give birth to cats and dogs give birth to dogs etc. when we are born we are spiritually dead and a slave to sin.Just like our ancestor Adam and Eve.Their sin was Eve wanted to be like God and Adam loved Eve so much he ate too from the tree of knowledge so he wouldn't be seperated from her.For about 4 thousand years after this everyone had to make sacrafices for their sins by killing animals.They would transfer their sins onto the animal and then sacrafice it so their sins would be removed from them.But these sin sacrafices were only temporary,by the next day their sins would start piling up again and the sacrafices would have to be done all over again so they could be forgiven.God the Father,the Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit are all connected together as one by the Holy Spirit.Jesus came to the world as a man in the flesh to be the ultimate sacrafice for us.His mother was human but his father was God.So in flesh he was human but in spirit he was God.That is why he didn't have two human parents because if he did he would have been born spiritually dead like the rest of us are.What Jesus accomplished for us is he took on the sins of the entire world from beginning to end.He became sin.On the cross he became spiritually separated from the Father because the Father cannot be touched by sin.He then was brutally punnished for us so we wouldn't have to be and died for us so we wouldn't.Then he defeated death was resurected and is now sitting at the right hand of God.Upon being saved you are taken out of Adam and placed in Jesus and become a child of God.Your old self in Adam dies and you become reborn in Christ as a brand new being.If you love God with all your heart,accept Christ as your personal Lord and Savior,repent of your sinful ways which means you no longer desire to live that way anymore and truely want to change and are sorry for all you've done.Not only will you be forgiven but everything you ever did will be forgotten.You will receive the Holy Spirit who will love you and guide you and take care of you and when your body dies you will go to Heaven and live forever.On judgement day you won't be judged,instead you'll have to give an account of how you lived your life which began the minute you were saved.Nothing else before that will matter as it won't even be remembered.Before Jesus crucifiction the evil ones went to Hell but the Holy ones such as King David and Moses went to the place of comfort in Hades on the other side of the Great Gulf Divide.After Jesus rose from the dead he went into Hades into the Place of Comfort and took everyone waiting there up to Heaven with him.So don't be afraid of not making it.If you have been saved you will go to Heaven.You aren't even concidered a sinner anymore as a child of God your now a Saint.

Answer 4

The Bible says: It is by grace we are saved through faith, not of works lest any man should boast. If people come to God in genuine repentance, believeing that He is, - whatever they have done in the past will be forgiven. How wonderful is that!
God does not grade sin - we have all sinned and fallen short of God's standard, therefore, we all need God to save us from our sins.
I trust you do so!
God bless you!

Answer 5

YES is my answer. Just take the example of Saul, who is a sinner, one day, God called him to follow Him and preach the good news, he made his choice right there and then, he chose to heed his calling and turn away from his sins. Paradise / heaven as we call it is OPEN FOR EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US, sinners and saints, it is a GIFT, we just have to ACCEPT it, it is an offer we can't say no to... :) Bless U!

Answer 9

Just being "fruitful" or "good" is necessary, but not sufficient for an eternal life in paradise.

Sin is “any want of conformity unto or transgression of the law of God” (1Jo_3:4; Rom_4:15), in the inward state and habit of the soul, as well as in the outward conduct of the life, whether by omission or commission (Rom_6:12-17; Rom_7:5-24). Sin is not a mere violation of the law of our constitution, nor of the system of things, but an offense against a personal lawgiver and moral governor who vindicates his law with penalties.

God forgives all sins except the one sin that denies Him. This sin ascribes to God what Satan has done, in that a person blasphemes the Spirit God that has been sent to call a person to righteousness. By saying with full knowledge "I do not believe", a person has in effect participated in the very first lie told in Eden.

Some will argue that God is unfair to judge those, including non-believers, that have tried to live a good life. Using an argument of "fairness" ignores the perfect attributes of God and lacks an understanding of the philosophical arguments of perfection.

In order to understand why just being "good" is insufficient; you would need to understand the concept of a perfectly holy and righteous being. Such a being would hate ALL sin and would be bound by the being's perfectly just nature to render judgment for the unjust. Just as we expect justice in this world, albeit imperfect at times, so does this being, God. Fortunately, a perfect being like God will render perfect justice, too.

While it is hard to hear, there are none righteous in the perfect God's eyes.

So how is a perfect God's demand for justice for sin reconciled with our own imperfections?

Here we find that God came up with a perfect solution. He became flesh, lived a perfect life, and acted as our representatives in God the Father's court of justice. There He was judged and crucified, carrying all the past and future world's sins with his crucifixion. God the Son, Christ, became our sin bearer and we need only acknowledge that sacrifice to be made "justified" in God's eyes and in God's demand for justice for sin.

Think of it this way. Your son does something like breaking a neighbor's window. Yet your son is too young to be made to pay for his crime. Society demands that the parent then act in the son's role and pay for these crimes. Likewise, God the Father allows God the Son to be humankind's representative. Christ paid the price for us all; it is deposited there in the justice bank of God. We need only claim our "share" of that account's balance and present ourselves to God.

In summary, a perfectly just being, God the Father, requires that sin be punished. In the Old Testament, such punishments were the slaughter of an innocent animal, accompanied by prayers of adoration and contrition to God the Father. These lawful rituals drove home the point to mankind that there are consequences for bad behaviors. These lawful rituals also foreshadowed a more significant means of reconciliation before God the Father’s demand for justice. A perfect being, Christ, willingly went to His death. A perfectly just God the Father, knows that the Son’s death is not justice, for the Son was sinless. Therefore, the perfectly just God the Father credits anyone who will claim the Son’s death as payment for their sins.
