The Way To Heaven
Your Real Purpose In Life
Who is God? “The person who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, because God is love.” (1 John 4:8) All that God does is based on His nature, because God is true to Himself (God cannot lie). Everything God does is based on LOVE. God is also all-wise, because He has infinite wisdom. His plan for creation was drawn up by His wisdom. To fulfill that plan is nothing less than ultimate success. Why should you care? God has placed the desire for love, TRUTH, JUSTICE and eternity in every heart. God wants a human family! “Our story—the story of why God wants us—begins with the idea that God is your Maker. God wanted us to exist in order to enjoy us and to have us enjoy Him in return.” God not only loves you, desires to save you from your desperation to save yourself and proved it through the death and resurrection of His Son, Jesus Christ who also claimed to be I AM, both man and God, equal to God the Father!
Are You Good Enough To Go To Heaven?
God is love, and also HOLY (set apart). There is none righteous (none that meets God’s standard), not even one. There is none who understands or seeks for God and they have not known the path of peace. There is no fear of God (and His awesome power) (Romans 3:10-18). God’s anger is revealed from heaven against every ungodly and immoral thing people do as they try to SUPPRESS the TRUTH by their immoral living (Rom 1:18) because that which is known about God is evident within them (in their consciousness), for God made it evident to them. (Rom 1:19) From the creation, God’s invisible qualities, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly observed in what he made. As a result, people have no excuse (Rom 1:20) they knew God, but they wouldn’t WORSHIP him as God or even give him THANKS. As a result, their minds became dark and confused. They gave up the truth about God for a lie, and they worshiped God’s creation instead of God, who will be praised forever. (Rom 1:25) No matter who you are, if you judge anyone, you have no excuse. When you judge another person, you condemn yourself, since you, the judge, do the same things. When you judge people for doing these things but then do them yourself, do you think you will ESCAPE God’s JUDGMENT? (Rom 2:3) God will judge the secrets (all the hidden thoughts and concealed sins) of men through Christ Jesus. (Rom 2:16). Do you have no regard for the wealth of His kindness and tolerance and patience (in withholding wrath)? Are you actually unaware or ignorant of the fact that God’s kindness leads you to repentance (to change your self, your old way of thinking—seek His purpose for your life)? (Rom 2:4) For no person will be justified (freed of guilt and declared righteous) in His sight by (trying to do) the works of the Law. For through the Law of Moses (10 Commandments: to love God and your neighbor as yourself) we become conscious of sin (and the recognition of sin directs us toward repentance, but provides no remedy for sin) (Rom 3:20). You cannot save yourself apart from God’s help.
The Way To Heaven
The Gospel (good news) brings life-transforming message of hope and redemption, revealing God’s love through Jesus Christ, who came to restore humanity’s relationship with God and provide eternal life to all who believe. Because sin (disobedience to God’s commandments) is anything contrary to the nature of God, the presence of sin in the world was what had to be dealt with in a lawful manner before creation could become the expression of the Creator’s nature (holy and loving). The penalty for sin is death, and the law could not be set aside or ignored without going contrary to God’s nature. But there was a way around the death penalty, a way that would not contradict the law of God. The love of God is demonstrated in the fact that Jesus came to die to pay for all the sins ever committed. It was the greatest demonstration of love in history.
God promised this GOOD NEWS long ago through his prophets in the holy Scriptures. This Good News is about his Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. (Ro 1:2-3) It is this Good News that saves you if you continue to BELIEVE the message I told you-Christ died for our sins, he was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day-since we preach that Christ rose from the dead, why are some of you saying there will be no resurrection of the dead? (1 Cor 15:1-4) This is REAL LOVE—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. (1 John 4:10) I have complete CONFIDENCE in the GOSPEL; it is God’s power to SAVE ALL WHO BELIEVE. (Ro 1:16) For in the Good News a RIGHTEOUSNESS which comes from God is being revealed, depending on FAITH and tending to produce faith; “The righteous man shall live by faith.” (Ro 1:17) He will give everlasting LIFE to those who search for glory, honor, and immortality by persisting in doing what is GOOD. (Rom 2:7) But for those who are selfishly ambitious and self-seeking and disobedient to the truth but responsive to wickedness, there will be wrath and indignation. (Rom 2:8) For merely listening to the law doesn’t make us right with God. It is obeying the law (The law of faith and love in the Spirit) that makes us right in his sight (Rom 2:13).
But now God has shown us a way to be made right with him without keeping the requirements of the law, as was promised in the writings of Moses and the prophets long ago. We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are. For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Yet God, in his GRACE, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins. God did this to demonstrate his righteousness, for he himself is fair and just, and he makes sinners right in his sight when they believe in Jesus (Rom 3:20-28). When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners. For since our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son (Rom 5:6:10). Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, I will make them as white as wool. (Isa 1:18)
Your Decision For Eternal Life Matters
In order to be saved, we must have genuine faith. Faith is complete trust in something we can’t see but are certain of it because we believe it is true. Faith is not feelings or positive thinking. Faith is a gift from God and acts in love.
Faith is an ACT based on BELIEF In God’s Promises Sustained by CONFIDENCE (EXPECTATION).
Many are still fighting God. Many consider God to be their enemy. But Jesus died to pay the penalty for their sin too. Because He loved them, He paid the penalty for their sins even if they still resist Him and His love. That is how the love of God is demonstrated by the life and death of Jesus Christ. And that gives us an idea of how to define the kind of love that is God’s nature. Even atheists and agnostics have faith in the laws of physics. Believers in God have faith in the promises of God. In fact, it really is the faithfulness of Jesus Christ that is working real belief in His promises in you through the Holy Spirit.
Then Jesus said to the woman, Your sins are forgiven. And Jesus said to the woman, “Your FAITH has saved you; go in peace.” I tell you, her sins—and they are many—have been forgiven, so she has shown me much LOVE. But a person who is forgiven little shows only little love. (Luke 7:47-50) Let wicked people abandon their ways. Let evil people abandon their thoughts. Let them return to the LORD, and he will show compassion to them. Let them return to our God, because he will freely forgive them. (Isa 55:7) For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God (that is, His remarkable, overwhelming gift of grace to believers) is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Rom 6:23) Repent (change your old way of thinking, turn from your sinful ways, accept and follow Jesus as the Messiah) and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ because of the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:38) How joyful are those whose lawless (loveless) acts are forgiven and whose sins are covered! (Rom 4:7). Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have PEACE with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. (Rom 5:1) God saved you through faith as an act of kindness (grace). Being saved is a gift from God. (Eph 2:8)
Let all the world look to God for salvation! For I am God; there is no other. I have sworn by my own name; “Every knee will bend to me, and every tongue will declare allegiance to me.” (Isa 45:22-23) “that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Phil 2:11-12) Salvation exists in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. (Acts 4:12) Because of God’s love, God has made provision for your forgiveness and salvation through Jesus Christ and promises to save you if you call upon His name, Jesus Christ. If you believe this simple message, then it shows that God is already working in your heart to fulfill His vow. Faith in His promise is the starting point. He will then work in your life so you can come to know Him.
If you want to start a relationship with Jesus Christ, or want to rededicate your life to Christ. Simply come to Him humbly by faith, confessing your sin and need of a Savior. Each person must sort out what to say to Jesus for himself, but one might try praying something like this:
“Dear Father in Heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins; I need your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus shed His blood for me and died for my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin. Right now I confess Jesus as the Lord of my life. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. Please fill me with the HOLY SPIRIT so I can have relationship with you. thank you for providing a way for me to be a child of GOD. Thank you Jesus for dying for me and giving me eternal life! Amen.”
If you openly DECLARE that Jesus is Lord and BELIEVE in your HEART that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. One believes with the heart, resulting in righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, resulting in salvation. (Romans 10:9-10) Everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved. (Rom 10:13) So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ. (Rom. 10:17) Therefore there is now no condemnation (no guilty verdict, no punishment) for those who are in Christ Jesus (who believe in Him as personal Lord and Savior). (Rom 6:23) For the Law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the Law of sin and death. (Romans 8:2)
The Mystery Of Christ Within You
Christ lives in you! This is the HOPE of glory. (Col 1:27)
There are many religious people who are just comfortable believing facts about the historical Jesus or are looking for a Savior to come and save their country (unite state and religion). However, believing in historical creeds, traditions of men or putting fath in man-made institutions doesn’t save you. What truly saves you is The GOSPEL which is the POWER of GOD for a Godly Life (Romans 1:16). This power is that God lives within you! Not that you are God, but that the same Spirit of Christ (wisdom) that was with Jesus when he lived, died and rose again from the dead now lives in you if you believe! Yes, the same Jesus Christ that walked on the earth also lives inside of you and to be saved, you must allow Christ to be formed in you and set your free from sin (Gal 4:19). Jesus Christ came to give you power over sin, Satan and the powers of hell (Matthew 16:18). If you received Jesus Christ, then there is hope within you. And this HOPE will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love. (Rom 5:5) We have therefore been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory and power of the Father, we too might walk habitually in newness of life (abandoning our old ways). We know that our old self (our human nature without the Holy Spirit) was nailed to the cross with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin. For the person who has died with Christ has been freed from the power of sin. Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live together with Him, For the death that He died, He died to sin (ending its power and paying the sinner’s debt) once and for all; and the life that He lives, He lives to glorify God (in unbroken fellowship with Him). (Rom 6:1-6) Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit. So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace. And Christ lives within you, so even though your body will die because of sin, the Spirit gives you life because you have been made right with God. The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. (Romans 8:3-14) Letting the SPIRIT control your MIND leads to LIFE and PEACE. (Rom 8:6) So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, “Abba, Father.” (Romans 8:15) No one has ever seen God. But if we LOVE each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us. (1 John 4:12) Let us unselfishly love and seek the best for one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves others is born of God and knows God through personal experience. (1 John 4:7)
Follow those two greatest commandments—loving God and loving our neighbors—by imitating Jesus himself, and then teaching others to do the same. That is essentially what it means to be a disciple; it is to be someone who imitates Christ (1 Corinthians 11:1).
Love (selfless compassion), or “Agape” is always an active word, something is always done. You do it to people you do not like, to people who are your enemies, to people who hate you. This is the highest love among humans. Agape reaches out to the unlovely, to the ungrateful, to the hateful, horrible, unattractive. When men are helpless and in desperate need, then Agape is a reaction to that situation which transforms itself into action. This is the sort of love God has, and that is why every mention of God’s love is linked to the cross. Love and forgiveness belong together. Love also tells the truth no matter what.
Spiritual Warfare
Satan transforms into an angel of light (2 Cor. 11:14)
Satan is real and wants to rule the world in a one world order. His rebellion against God has trapped him here. The only thing found to deflect and overcome demons (aliens) is calling upon the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth The Messiah. This is confirmed research done in 1973 by three New Age UFO researchers. In the last days, there will be much confusion and deception about what is really fact, true and what is false. People will call good evil and evil good. There will be a false light, a righteousness that seems right but lacking in power. The Antichrist will produce lying signs and wonders, manifestations. The New Age Movement is seeking to bring all religions together to homogenize religions across the world and prepare them to receive the One World Church (Globalization of Religion). The grand delusion is designed in such a way as to prove to man that he is a “god”. The Anti-christ will merge politics and religion to produce a false “Christianity” without power (without Christ formed within them) that it will destroy the world. (1 Thess 2:3) The only way to find freedom from the lies of Satan is to have a real relationship with Jesus Christ and know the Word of God.
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. (Ephesians 6:12)
The coming days Satan may begin an assault on you in an attempt to undermine your faith in Christ. (1 Peter 5:8; Ephesians 6:16; Matthew 13:3-23). Some of his specific goals are: (1) To plant seeds of doubt and despair in order to rob you of the peace, joy and assurance of your salvation. (2) To lead you astray in order to keep you from growing in the knowledge of the truth, and (3) To keep you from being a witness, salt and light to others. Through prayer and putting on the Armor of God daily, you can RESIST the Devil and win (Ephesians 6:10-18). Jesus, who is the self-expression and personality of God come in the flesh, cast out many demons from people while he walked on Earth in the flesh. He instructed his disciples that he had given his disciples power over demonic forces.
And He called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all the demons and to heal diseases. (Luke 9:1) Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you. (Luke 10:19)
Jesus can deliver us from anything, because He has authority over everything, and nothing is better than or greater than or more powerful than Himself. Therefore, if we intimately know Jesus and we have a complete and total dependence upon Him and our eyes are fixated upon Him, we should never be vulnerable to suffering successful attacks from demonic entities. Our responsibility in all of this, therefore, as Jesus’ own, is to pay attention to the spiritual realm and to spiritual forces, but to never allow our eyes to fall away from Jesus, and to call upon the authority of Jesus in the presence of evil. True spiritual warfare is all about telling yourself the truth with authority about yourself from God’s perspective.
Endure The Last Days
You are experiencing the final days of “last days” of this age. Jesus is coming back soon. Scripture gave us a lot of clues about when the end of this age will come, and those signs are all around us! God calls the government, political, entertainment and religious systems of the world “Babylon” which basically means confusion. In the last days, many there will be confusion. It will be difficult to tell what’s fake from what is true. Who do you listen to? Who can you trust? To come out of Babylonian systems of confusion, you must know scripture and be open to hearing what God’s will is for your life. Ultimately, God is truth and truth is a person, Jesus Christ. How do you identify true followers of God in the end-times? True followers of God are not driven by a political agenda, greed, money, charisma, signs, wonders and miracles, but a simple love for God and others inspired by the sacrificial love that Jesus Christ demonstrated while on earth.
Avoid The Mark of the Beast
The Scriptures predict that global government will take over the world, and God’s people are instructed not to conform.
The second beast…forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark in their right hands or in their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666. (Revelation 13:15-18)
The most obvious takeaway from this is, do not allow yourself to be physically marked and brought into any sort of slavery to mankind, such as an injection, or medical operation for exchange of your freedom not even if it becomes required by law in cooperation with vaccination tracking. Even getting a vaccination, chip or signing your name to a false contract could be seen by God as giving ownership over to Satan. Your sole dependency should be on God! If you believe in Jesus, you have been bought by the Blood of Jesus and you should never give yourself over to anything that attempts to claim ownership over you. But this also applies to receiving a “mark” in the spiritual realm, receiving a “mark” on the right hand (willful action) or forehead (mindset), or attending a false man-made religious system (such as worshiping the Earth for the sake of climate change). Do not cling to the world, religion or mankind’s systems of control, but instead cling to the kingdom of God and to the true King.
Then I saw another angel flying in midheaven, with an eternal gospel to preach to the inhabitants of the earth, to every nation and tribe and language and people; and he said with a loud voice, “Fear God [with awe and reverence], and give Him glory [and honor and praise in worship], because the hour of His judgment has come; [with all your heart] worship Him who created the heaven and the earth, the sea and the springs of water.” (Rev 14:6-7)
Worship can also be obedience, allegiance, attention, even work. So, God takes who we give control/surrender and ownership over our life to very seriously. Only Jesus Christ, who is Lord and God is truly worthy of obedience, allegiance, praise, and affections! God calls all people out of sin, and marks those who make Jesus their ransom, and their names are entered in the Book of Life. Today, Jesus has to be your ransom by you accepting that He paid for your sins by dying in your place. That is how your name is entered in the Book of Life so you are counted as belonging to Him.
There is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all (1 Tim 2:5-6). No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other… (Luke 16:13). Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. (1 John 2:15-16).
To belong to God you have to come out of Babylon. Not coming out of Babylon sets you up for the mark of the beast. Anything that separates you from God or discourages you from loving Him sets you up for the mark of the beast. Love God and He will mark you as His (Proverbs 8:17). Love the world and the beast will mark you as his. The devil is the power behind the beasts mentioned in Revelation which eventually give rise to the image of the beast and its mark. It’s important to ask the Holy Spirit for conviction of truth and confess our sins and repent (turn away from them) to receive forgiveness.
Your Future Hope: New Heaven and Earth
-The King is Coming by Marty Hart Lee
Jesus Christ is coming back soon! Only when Jesus Christ returns and establishes His new government will there be peace and justice for ALL. “For a child has been born—for us! the gift of a son — for us!. He’ll take over the running of the world. His names will be: Amazing Counselor, Strong God, Eternal Father, Prince of Wholeness. His ruling authority will grow, and they’ll be no limits to the wholeness he brings. He’ll rule from the historic David throne over that promised kingdom. He’ll put that kingdom on a firm footing and keep it going With fair dealing and right living, beginning now and lasting always…” (Isaiah 9:6-7, MSG) For those who hold fast to the end and don’t give up, God promises great things. The hardships we will have to endure are but for a moment when compared to eternal life and all that comes with it which await us. What does God have in store for those who choose Him?
“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” (1 Corinthians 2:9). “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. (2 Corinthians 4:17-18).
New Home. Followers of God are given their new eternal home – a new Earth where God will dwell with us forever! When the final judgment has been completed following the 1,000-year peaceful reign of Jesus, God will roll up Earth and the heavens like a scroll, and a “new heaven and earth” will appear, with the “New Jerusalem” coming down out of heaven from God. God’s dwelling place will then be among His people on the new earth. His beautiful and eternal dwelling place is described in Revelation 21-22.
No more death. “And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” (Revelation 21:4). “…He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.” (Revelation 2:11).
Eternal life. “And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.” (1 John 5:11-13). “…the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23). “To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.” (Revelation 2:7).
No more sin. “…no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. “He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.” (Revelation 21:7). “In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” (John 14:2-3). “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you.”
There may be trouble, but it will be but for a moment compared to eternity. Hold on to the Lord and He will carry you through as He has promised. Fear them not for even if they kill you, that is all they can do to you. Fear God for though they may kill you, He will raise you from death when Jesus comes again. Do not be afraid to stand for the truth and to share it. …the very hairs of your head are all numbered. “Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him will I also deny before My Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 10: 30-33).
