What happens when we do not think like the God above? Are you reading the Bible in order to know what He wants from you?
What happens when you do not know what the Bible says on a matter?
Do you know what the Bible says? If we are to go to Heaven, we must know the message of God for us on earth. Makes sense to me.
1 John 3:1-3
As children of God, born again into His Kingdom — we have this hope in Jesus, and so then we keep purifying ourselves for Him. We repent of sin, to be holy, undefiled, guiltless… by His forever forgiveness.
Matthew 24:32-51
Fig Tree parable from Jesus in Matthew 24:32-51.
1 Thessalonians 5:1-11
1 Thessalonians 5:1-11. “Therefore encourage and comfort one another and build up one another…”
Salvation in Christ is beyond huge
Christ offers us His “iron-clad” humongous type of salvation… or, on the flip-side, this article could be titled… “The limits of what God will do for sinners”.
How do I get to Heaven?
So you want to go to Heaven. Jesus promised Heaven for those who follow Him. He does not include anyone else in His promise. Other religions make promises they can never keep. Do you want to entrust your eternity into the hands of puny humans? Only Jesus saves.
God wants us all to be saved
We are natural born sinners on a road away from God. You can stay on it, and end up far, far away. But God wants all to be saved. John 3:16.
About Sin
Key truths about sin as taught in the Bible. What is sin, and what is God’s stance about it?
Flesh and blood absolutely cannot inherit the Kingdom of God
So you want to go to Heaven. The Bible tells us so much about God’s Home Heaven. God created us inside a physical world. Here we are limited by time and space. But Heaven is in the spirit world dimension where Father God dwells. We all have it: Flesh and blood. But the Kingdom of God will have nothing to do with that. You must be born again.
Psalm 51. Wash me. Cleanse me.
Psalm 51 is a Psalm by King David of Israel, written in confession and repentance after Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had seduced Bathsheba. He asked God: Wash me. Cleanse me.

Death and Resurrection verses of 1 Corinthians 15:verses 12-58.
He will go before me
What path are you on? (1) “…walk in the counsel of the wicked [following their advice and example]” or (2) “And he will be like a tree firmly planted [and fed] by streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season; Its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers [and comes to maturity].”
Hebrews 12:1
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who by faith have testified to the truth of God’s absolute faithfulness], stripping off every unnecessary weight and the sin which so easily and cleverly entangles us, let us run with endurance and active persistence the race that is set before us….” – […]

Hebrews 10:31. How terrifying
How terrifying – “incurring His judgment and wrath”. Will you “fall into the hands of
the living God”?
Works of the flesh
Galatians 5:19-21 Now the practices of the sinful nature are clearly evident: they are sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality (total irresponsibility, lack of self-control), idolatry, sorcery, hostility, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions [that promote heresies], envy, drunkenness, riotous behavior, and other things like these. I warn you beforehand, just as I did previously, […]
John 8:44. “If God were your Father…”
John 8:44. “If God were your Father [but He is not], you would love and recognize Me, for I came from God….”
This is Salvation in Christ
It’s a very simple message from God, actually – what He expects of us. His message is to all of us — us sinful, willful, rebellious, self-centered creatures. God is asking you and me to repent.
The ABCs of Salvation
Are you ready to meet your Maker? Here are three steps to salvation in Jesus.

1 John 3:9
1 John 3:9 No one who is born of God [deliberately, knowingly, and habitually] practices sin, because God’s seed [His principle of life, the essence of His righteous character] remains [permanently] in him [who is born again —who is reborn from above —spiritually transformed, renewed, and set apart for His purpose]; and he [who is […]

Romans 6:13
Do not go on offering members of your body to sin as instruments of wickedness. But offer yourselves to God [in a decisive act] as those alive [raised] from the dead [to a new life], and your members [all of your abilities—sanctified, set apart] as instruments of righteousness [yielded] to God. – Romans 6:13
