Many people i have talked with say heaven and hell are not real that this is something that people came up with.But that's not true for the bible says that they are real. Let the bible first explain to us what hell is .Jesus said "There was arich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen,and fared sumptously everyday:And a certain beggar Lazarus,which was laid at his gate full of sores.And desiring tobe fed with crumbswhich fell from the rich man's table:moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.And it came to pass that the beggar died , and was carried into Abraham's bosom: and the rich man also died, and was burried;And in hell he lifted up his eyes being in torments and seeth Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom.And he cried and said ,Father Abraham ,have mercy on me and send Lazarus, that he may dip tongue of his finger in water and cool my tongue;for iam toemented in this flame." (Luke 16:19-24).
Jesus also said that"But i will forewarn you whom ye shall fear :Fear him,which afterhe hath killed hath the poewer to cast into hell yea I say fear him."
(Luke 12:5) I think that you now believe that hell is real. and also the punishement in hell is everlasting ."Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand,Depart fom me ye cursed ,into everlasting fire ,prepared for the devil and his angels." (Mathew 25:41) But then who will go to hell. The bible gives us the answer."But the feafull ,thethe unbeliving ,the arbominable, and the murderersand whoremongersand socerers,and idolatersand all liars shall have their part in the lake of fire which burneth with brimstone;which is the second death." (Revelation 21:8)" But whosoever was not found written in the book of was cast into the lake of fire."(Romans 20:15)You realise that liars are included.Now who of us has never lied ? none that means that all are supposed to go to hell. But God put a way osf escape for us by sending Christ to die in our place such that we shouldn't go to hell but Heaven. But then what is heaven? let the bible explain it.
Jesus told his disciples to pray ".... Our father who art in heaven hallowed be thy name." (Mathew 6:9).This assures us that there really is a heaven.Heaven is a real place because Paul the apostle said "For we know that if our earthly house of this terbanaclewere dissolved, we have abuilding a house not made with, eternal in the heavens." (2Corinthians 5:1). More to that Heaven is a place of perfect peace , joy ,that will never end becuse the bible says so "And i saw the new heaven and the new earth:..........And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes ; and there shall be no more death ,neither sorrow,nor crying, neither shallthere be any more pain:for the former things are passed away." (Revelation 21:1,4) And who are those going to heaven and what is the way?
Jesus said that "Iam the way the truth and the life and no man cometh unto the father but by me." (John14:6) so THOSE THAT HAVE COME TO CHRIST for salvation are the only ones going to heaven for there is no other way not even a single religion.
Are you among those going to spend etenity with Jesus Christ?
This is how you can go to heaven;
The Bible says that you can for sure that you are going to heaven " these things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the son of God that ye may know that ye have eternal life." (1John 5:13). that is the condition : you must be a child of God to enter heaven .
It also says that " Except a man be born -again he cannot see the kingdom of heaven." (John 3:3). which gives the same condition you have to be born into God's family to enter heaven
Have you been born into the family of God? if not come to God today he will save you . This is how ;
1. Agree with GOD that you are a sinner." For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God" (Romans3:23) and recieve him today .
Some people say that " iam too great a sinner for God to allow me "but that's not what God says. He says" Come unto me all that labor and are heavy laden and i will give you rest." (Mathew 11:27). He did't first leave your sins and i will forgive you he said come unto me and i will give you rest ,rest from your sin shame and fear. he also says " come and let us reason together saith the Lord thougth your sins be as scarlet they shall be whiter than snow and though they be as wool they shall be as snow." (Isaiah 1:18).
2. Repent of your sins and call upon God to save you, he will because he said he will " whosoever shall call upon the name of the lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13). " But as many as recieved him to them gave he the power to become the sons of God ..." (John 1:12)
