Even though I am happily married to my amazing wife, the decision to marry her was the second best decision I ever made. It's OK. She understands.
May I very carefully and HUMBLY ask a question? Do you know 100% that you are
going to Heaven? Let me share with you my salvation testimony… how I accepted
Jesus Christ as my Savior... how He changed me from the inside out. I’ll try to back it up with as much Bible as I can.
Stick with me. It is thrilling for me to consider what God has done in my own life:
I grew up in a great Christian family. We have always gone
to church 3 times a week. I was always a very good kid. I heard about Jesus all
the time. But for some reason, I thought that if I was good enough, that if I
did enough good things… that if my good outweighed my bad... I would get to
Heaven. But that was definitely not the case. Ephesians 2:8-9 says, “For by grace you have been saved
through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a
result of works, so that no one may boast.” This passage means that we can’t
obtain salvation through doing good things, but rather, God
offers us a gift (that I don’t deserve) that I must accept. No one can do
enough good things to get to Heaven.
This realization came when I was about 8 or 9. I went to
Children's Church, and the teacher (I wish I could remember his name) taught
a lesson from the Bible about Hell. I was scared to death! Why? Because it
finally dawned on me. I realized I was heading there. I had never made a
decision to accept Jesus as my Savior. Do you know what God requires for anyone
to enter Heaven? PERFECTION (Psalm 15:1-2). WHAT?????
Let me explain further...
