“Are you good enough to go to Heaven?”
by Art Sadlier   
June 14th, 2013

Are you good enough to go to Heaven?

Of all the questions you will ask yourself in this life, this is probably the most important.   Check yourself against just a few of God's requirements:

  • "Thou shalt have no other gods before me" Has God always had first place in your life?
  • Have you ever told a lie? Be honest.
  • Have you ever taken anything that doesn't belong to you? That would make you a thief.
  • Have you ever felt hate toward anyone? Jesus said that is equal to murder.
  • Have you ever looked with lust? Jesus said that is equal to adultery.
  • Have you ever coveted, desired something that belongs to another?

These are just a sampling of God's requirements to get into heaven. Who among us can say we have kept God's law. Paul said if you have broken one commandment, you are guilty of breaking all.

Listen to the seriousness of breaking the law. "But the fearful and unbelieving and the abominable and murderers, and whore mongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."

Man! That's Bad News! What should you do?

Simply recognize your sin, see it as God sees it and repent, turn away from it and put your faith and trust in Christ who shed His blood and died to redeem you from sin.

John 1:12, “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.”     

John 3:18, “He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”   

You cannot produce change in your own life, but true salvation will result in change.   2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
