Innocence

Matthew 18:4

God must be approached with child-like innocence and wonder. As soon as you say 'that is what God is' that is what it is. Most believers don't take God seriously enough. They put him up on flimsy foundations of belief and are content with that. The bible's existence lends credit to it's importance. Don't think about or ask what God can do for you or you can do for God but instead ask what God wants you to do.

1 Chronicles 16:26

Belief alone is not enough. You can believe anything you want. You can believe the sun is made out of jello, you can believe ocean water tastes like sprite, it does not change facts and reality.

This is a major problem, you say 'I believe' and that's it you think that's the end of your responsibility, that's the only thing God wants you to do, yet belief is only the first step of a very high staircase. Just like a scientist does not stop at a theory, you should not stop seeking the truth until you find it undoubtedly.

John 6:28-29 is the answer to your question. I did not say it , God did. If you have a problem with that talk to Him about it; not me. I am not confused about it at all. I don't confuse justification with sanctification. There is a difference.

And you can't know what I think? You don't know what I believe. You don't know how God has worked in my life. You know nothing about me except that I answered your question.
Finally, to answer this statement:

Only the worthy can enter heaven, before death or after. When you take enough steps, the stair case becomes an escalator.

John 14:6 is that step.

Regards,
John

It doesn't matter what you believe, the truth remains the truth. If you stop at belief and value only that you will not know truth for a very long time. I am not asking a question but providing answers. I don't know what you think, but I know what is right and if you do not understand me yet then it is apparent you do not understand the truth.

It is inevitable that all will return to heaven eventually, but doing it while alive benefits everyone. It is also the reason Jesus came, to show and teach us first hand what we are capable of.

That part of you which feels the need to debate instead of comprehend cannot enter heaven and never will. I understand its difficult to believe in a prophet due to our extreme rarity, but there's a reason we're rare.

Matthew 7:13-14
