The statistics say that 10 out of 10 people die. It’s true – we all have an appointment with death. A question each of us should ask is “What happens after I die?” The Bible says that God has a standard that he will judge you by on your appointed day of death. It’s called the Ten Commandments. Let’s see how you will do. Have you ever told a lie? (Including white lies and fibs) Have you ever stolen anything? (no matter the value) The third Commandment is “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain”. Have you ever used His name as a curse word to express disgust? The seventh Commandment is “You shall not commit adultery”, but Jesus said “If you look upon a woman to lust after her you’ve already committed adultery with her in your heart”. Have you ever looked at another person with lust or desire? If you said 'yes' to these four questions, then by your own admission you’re a lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterer-at-heart, and we’ve only looked at four of the Ten Commandments. On Judgment Day, if God were to judge you by those standards, would you be innocent or guilty? Would you go to Heaven or Hell?
The Bible says that you would be guilty, that means hell. Know that God, the just judge of the universe, is also rich in mercy. He sent His Son Jesus to suffer and die on the cross on your behalf to take the punishment for your sins. He paid your fine with His life's blood. That means God can commute your death sentence. He can allow you to live because of what Jesus did on the cross. Through His death and resurrection, God can now dismiss your case. He can forgive your sins and allow you to live. So what must you do? You must repent - turn from your sins. Don't just confess your sins to God; confess and forsake them. Don't just believe in Jesus - trust in Him, like you would trust in a parachute to save you. You don't just believe in a parachute, you put your trust into it! That's what you must do with the savior.

What ten commandments? Where does the Bible come up with the Ten Commandments and where does Jesus throw out the rest of the Torah except the Ten Commandments. I know what the Ten Commandments are, but nowhere does the Bible refer to them as such.
Exodus 20:1-2: "Then God spoke all these words: I am the Lord your God..." Straight into it, without a title. At the beginning of the next chapter are "the ordinances that you shall set before them" which includes selling and buying children as slaves, putting people to death for striking a person, etc. Either the Torah is intact, or it isn't. You have to decided what it is. Don't take it apart, accept part of it, and throw out the rest.
Read your Bible for what it says; don't read it for what you want it to say.

Oh yes, God is trying to get all of our attention all the time, to show us the way to everlasting life with Him. absolutely He not only wants to draw us to Him as a believer, but as a true follower of Jesus that will live in obedience as Jesus did to the father, and will love Him and trust Him in all things. HE longs to show us how to live here to prepare us for living in the Kingdom, and to take others with us on the way. OH yes, nothing is happenstance. There are no coincidences. BUt there are what I call GOd cidences. amen Where God is intervening tryin ger out attnetion and our love and our faithfulness and trust. oh yes. LIsten and you will hear the voice of God and all will be added unto you. oh yes.

We have all sinned and come short from the glory of God. Our walk is a daily struggle and we must keep in mind that our Lord knows our every short coming. We need to rededicate every single day. We need to ask for our eyes to be opened to what we may have done or said to offend our Father.

If he wanted to get my attention, he should know that all he had to do was show himself. So far, nothing. Oh, and I would rather die than go to heaven. Infinity is too long, I'm pretty sure I would eventually get bored. In fact, I'm 100% sure.

No, religious zealots are trying to tell me that God is trying to get my attention (to put it more accurately).
