Why would God choose only Christians to go to heaven and not all good people?

Answer 1

That's how evil he is.

Answer 2

First off no man continually does good and never sins. That's why God had to intervene as both man & God. Only w/o man's seed could He be born w/o sin. Only with woman's seed could He be flesh and subject to all the temptations of man. Thus able to be the sacrificial lamb.

But christians aren't the only ones going to heaven. In fact many so called christians won't make it. The 7 yr. tribulation is mostly focused on bringing His chosen ones to Him, though there will be others. God's followers will be raptured to meet Him in the air. Only those who admit their sins, repent, believe Christ died for their sins, rose again & lives forever making intercession for us before God will make it before or after. It doesn't matter what religion you are because the Bible says they'll come from every tribe, nation & tongue to Him, not a religion.

Religion is little more than man trying to understand God. Faith and salvation is God reaching out and touching man. Even if you could always be good you're born into sin by the fact you're human. So unless you die before the age of accountability (some say 12, others 13) that's your only sin. But it's still sin.

Look at your terrorists that train kids as young as 9 to kill. If sin wasn't present w/i them to begin with their own conscience would tell them it's wrong. With time it becomes seared. God will judge their heart but their blood guilt will rest with their parents and/or indoctrinators. In any event if they kill w/o emotion we call them sociopaths & lock them away for life in an institution or jail or give them the death penalty. If that child was good in every other way would you really want that kind of chaos in heaven?

Everyday we see more & more people that seemed in every way to be good yet discover they are pedophiles, murderers, etc. Only God can judge the heart.

Answer 3

"Upon the wicked He shall rain quick burning coals, fire and brimstone and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup." Isaiah 9:5; 34:2; Psalm 11:6, margin. Fire comes down from God out of heaven. The earth is broken up. The weapons concealed in its depths are drawn forth. Devouring flames burst from every yawning chasm. The very rocks are on fire. The day has come that shall burn as an oven. The elements melt with fervent heat, the earth also, and the works that are therein are burned up. Malachi 4:1; 2 Peter 3:10. The earth's surface seems one molten mass–a vast, seething lake of fire. It is the time of the judgment and perdition of ungodly men–"the day of the Lord's vengeance, and the year of recompenses for the controversy of Zion." Isaiah 34:8.
The wicked receive their recompense in the earth. Proverbs 11:31. They "shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts." Malachi 4:1. Some are destroyed as in a moment, while others suffer many days. All are punished "according to their deeds." The sins of the righteous having been transferred to Satan, he is made to suffer not only for his own rebellion, but for all the sins which he has caused God's people to commit. His punishment is to be far greater than that of those whom he has deceived. After all have perished who fell by his deceptions, he is still to live and suffer on. In the cleansing flames the wicked are at last destroyed, root and branch–Satan the root, his followers the branches. The full penalty of the law has been visited; the demands of justice have been met; and heaven and earth, beholding, declare the righteousness of Jehovah."(GC11, 672-673)

Answer 4

A very smart person told me:

Good Works or being a nice person will not get you into Heaven. Only thru belief in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and repentance of your sins, will get you into heaven. Then and only then your name will be written into the Lamb's Book of Life. That's a very good thing!

God has rules. He does not force us to follow them. He has given us free-will to chose for ourselves. But God does not ignore the rules. He is watching and listening. He has laid out all of His blessings and curses and what is expected of you. He will give you some time to start making good decisions but He will not wait forever.

God is an awesome God!

Hope this helps!

Good luck

Answer 5

Good...by whose standards ?
Anyway, back to the subject, God gives everyone the choice - heaven or not - if the choice made by a man/woman is to be with Christ in heaven, then they can be citizens of the kingdom of heaven, and called 'christian'. ..like a Polack coming to America, where he will be called an 'American'.
So God came to save sinners (non-christian), so good people can choose to go to heaven too. (and be called christians)

Answer 6

God chooses everyone to go to heaven. But, they can only go if we choose to believe in Christ's death and resurrection for us. Heaven is for all and God does not discriminate but we cannot reach a perfect and holy God without a mediator. That mediator is Christ. Good works cannot get us into heaven because we are still flawed and full of sin no matter how good we are. That's the beauty of Christ. All we have to do is believe, the good deeds will come after that because we will desire to do good things.

Answer 7

What is "good" in your eyes does not equal "good" in God's eyes. It's His home, so He can say who comes in. It is HIS standard of good that must be fulfilled in order to enter Heaven, not man's. And, in all honesty, you should be THANKFUL for that. After all, there are people who idolize Adolf Hitler and Charles Manson, and you don't want people with THOSE standards deciding who gets into Heaven, do you?

If you want to enter Heaven, you must abide by the rules that God has set forth to enter.

Answer 8

Being good has nothing to do with it. We can do nothing to go to Heaven. Our works are as filthy rags, Isaiah 64:6, None is righteous, no not one, Romans 3:10, verse 23, For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God. The name Christians means little Christs, believers in Jesus Christ. He is our Saviour, the Bible says he died on a Cross at Calvery for us, to take away our sins, his death, buriel and resurrection is divine and supernatural. He was the Son of the living God. He arose the third day, for ever opening the door to salvation to all who will believe. Its about believing, Ephesians 2:8-9, For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. Heaven is totally free to all who will believe, no matter what color,race, creed, or language. Jesus will accept anyone. You canbe Saved today and start a new life with Jesus, confess and be converted, seek and ye shall find, do you feel Jesus tugging at your heart, if you do He is telling you something, it is time to take a stand, to make a decision, just pray Dear Jesus, I know and confess that I am sinner in need of salvation. I believe you died on a cross at calvery and arose from the grave to wash away my sins, I ask you right now to come into my heart and save me, I pray this Prayer believing in the name of Jesus Amen. If you prayed this prayer with a sincere heart you are now a child of God, rejoice that your name is written in the Lambs book of Life. Jesus will now send his Holy Spirit to come and live in your heart and guide you into all truth. If you have any questions just send me an email, God Bless YOU!!

Answer 9

Because:
“For God is a God, not of disorder, but of peace.” (1 Corinthians 14:33) There is so much confusion amongst Religions In General that that display alone disqualifies them from getting His Blessing.
Second is This:
One Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all.” Ephesians 4:1:5
Most all Religious people believe that they serving God. Yet we Told there is One FAITH... Namely Christianity.
Not Many Different Kinds of Faith thats is acceptable to God.One can be Sincere In their Faith to God, But one can also be Sincerely WRONG.

Answer 10

Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. He taught that only through Him can one enter Heaven. God doesn't choose, it's up to us to choose whether or not to believe in His only Son. Being good isn't enough; without Jesus, there's no hope at all...

Answer 11

No one can be good enough for Him. God is perfect and can only accept perfection. People fail when compared with His law. That's why there must be a blood sacrifice to make things right. Jesus, who is perfect, was that final sacrifice for all who wish to come to God. One must only believe this and ask God to forgive him or her to go to Heaven someday.
