A key to
Heaven
|
|
"A teacher asked the children
in her Sunday School class, "If I sold my house and my car, had a big
garage sale and
gave all my money to the
church, would I get into heaven?"
"NO!" the children all answered. "If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the yard,
and kept everything neat
and tidy,
would I get into
heaven?"
Again, the answer was "NO!" "Well," she continued,
"then how can I get to
heaven?"
In the back of the room, a five-year-old boy shouted out, "You gotta be dead!"*
Well, unfortunately, not all people can go
to heaven after death. A key to heaven for a Christian is
your belief in Jesus Christ as God.
Neither death nor deed, neither height nor
depth, anything else in all creation will hellp you get to heaven,
except believing in Jesus Christ.
In fact, we have already crossed over from
death to life.
John 5.24 NIV
"I tell you the truth, whoever hears my
word and believes him who sent me has
eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed
over from death to life."
