Certainty or Doubt

 

 

If you were to die today, are you sure, very sure, that you will get to Heaven? Without any doubt whatsoever, you will definitely, today, on your death, you will go to Heaven. Straight-away, Heaven is your destination, the very moment you die and your soul leaves your body.

What makes you so sure that you'll get to Heaven?

How come you do not harbour any doubts whatsoever?

Or, if perchance you are a little hesitant; why is this so?

What concerns you about not actually making it to Heaven the moment you die?

When you get to meet God face to face; which is a certainty; and He asks you "why do you want to enter my Heaven?" - what will you respond?

Saying that Jesus died for you, and you are saved, will not count. God is asking "why do you personally want to enter Heaven?" - not why did Jesus die for you. 

Why do you, and me, want to get to Heaven? 

Is it because we are afraid of Hell? 

Is it because we want to be in "a nice place" happy ever after; like in a fairy tale?

You see ... we have been programmed to view these things through a human perspective. 

We want to go to Heaven because that's what we've been taught to expect and to aspire to. We've been taught that we have to be good to go to Heaven or else ... ... ...

Some see God as a judging Deity and we stoically accept His existence and ruling in order to avoid punishment. They believe they'll get to Heaven because they are "good people" really, and that should suffice.

Others choose not to accept God's existence altogether thus freeing their minds of doubts or the emotional worries of what might happen when they die.

Either way, we reach our conclusions through a human perspective.

But God is not human. His perspective is not our perspective. He will expect a good answer, albeit a human one, should He ask you, "why do you want to come in?"

Better be ready! 

Let not our complacency lead us sleep-walking our way to Hell.

"Not everyone who calls me 'Lord, Lord' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but only those who do what my Father in Heaven wants them to do." Matthew 7:21.
