What Bible verse says that is going to be one of the tests given to us?@Bible Highlighter
Answer me this one question.
When you are standing at the judgement, what is going to be your answer when God asks you why you should be let into Heaven?
God Bless.
What Bible verse says that is going to be one of the tests given to us?
See, this is why I cannot you seriously because you are not speaking based on what the Bible actually says.
You did not address even one of the verses I put forth to you (In my long list of verses).
In other words, if we are going to have a conversation about GOD, it has to be based on what His Word says.
If not, you can hang up this conversation right now.
That is why your writing is a problem to begin with. It’s not honoring God’s Word.
Your mind is just running off into “La, La. Land.”
Side Note:
In the Parable of the Wedding Feast (Matthew 22:1-14): We some guests who are invited to a wedding and they do not have on a wedding garment, and when they are discovered by the king, they are cast out into outer darkness (Whereby there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth) (See Matthew 22:13).
What is the wedding garment that they were supposed to have on?
Revelation 19:8 (NKJV)
”And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.”
So it was because they did not have any true righteous acts that they were cast out.
Still don’t believe?
Read the Parable of the Minas (Luke 19:11-27).
It refers in context to servants (believers) who did not want Jesus to reign over them.
What was their fate?
”But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.” (Luke 19:27).
How do you know that God WILL ask this question on judgement day?But God will ask you this question, and probably ask you this question first, on judgement day.
No, the only correct answer you can give is something to the effect of "I needed Jesus to die for me because I could not meet up to the holy and perfectly righteous standards of entering such a glorious and perfect place such as this, for without Him, I am nothing, and I am lost", etc, etc, etc.How do you know that God WILL ask this question on judgement day?
The Lord knows those who are his; he knows his sheep and his children. He knows, and has seen, all who are IN Christ.
Someone who is in Christ, a member of his body, part of the vine, a member of the church - the bride of Christ - and who has eternal life will not be questioned on whether or not they can be with God for eternity.
The answer to the question, in any case, is "I belong to Jesus".
No, the only correct answer you can give is something to the effect of "I needed Jesus to die for me because I could not meet up to the holy and perfectly righteous standards of entering such a glorious and perfect place such as this, for without Him, I am nothing, and I am lost", etc, etc, etc.

That would be a bit like my husband asking "why should I let you into this house - even though you have a key that fits the door, and even though the house is yours?"He needs to hear you say this, and you need to hear you say this, otherwise you're not getting in.
It's not about being "loathe" to say it: the question is why God would need to ask it in the first place, and how you know, with certainty, that he WILL?The only reason any quote/unquote "Christian" would be loathe to say something like this, very, very quickly and very, very easily, etc, is only because they are like the Devil, for even he could be saved if he would just only say or admit something like this, but he never, ever will, and he won't ever.
And supposing you're wrong?But, ok, you all go on thinking He won't ask this question on judgement day if you want to, and we'll just see who's right on judgement day.
No one has said anything at all about it being "offensive".If it is at all going to be "offensive" to you that God asks, then you have a much more serious issue or problem than I originally thought, for any "true Christian" should want to proclaim it, and declare it, and should be "very, very, very glad" and "very, very much extremely happy" that He asked.
If it's not part of your testimony that Jesus had to die for your sins, and there was no other way, and your not all too happy to tell others all about that (because there will be others there, and maybe they need to hear it), then I don't know what to tell you...And you think that God might not know this and need us to tell him?
His will is that we belong to his Son and have eternal life, John 6:40. If we have eternal life, it's clearly not a matter of "answer this question and then I'll let you be with me forever."
That would be a bit like my husband asking "why should I let you into this house - even though you have a key that fits the door, and even though the house is yours?"
Answer; because I live here, because I have a key and because we're married.
If my husband was disputing that we were married, that I had stolen a key so that I could get into the house, that he didn't know me etc etc, I'd get him medical, if not psychiatric, help.
Jesus IS the key and the door.
It's not about being "loathe" to say it: the question is why God would need to ask it in the first place, and how you know, with certainty, that he WILL?
Don't you believe that God knows his sheep? That he knows his children? That he knows who has received eternal life and his Spirit?
Do you believe that he stands at the "pearly gates" and demands to know why, or whether, we should be allowed in? If so, that is not a picture of God that we see in the Bible.
And supposing you're wrong?
No one has said anything at all about it being "offensive".
The question is "how do you know that God is going to ask this?" It's not in Scripture, so how do you KNOW?
Just try to remember that the whole process of judgement is a question and answer session, unless you think you're going to somehow escape being judged, or that judgement, which comes first and before anything else, etc.And you think that God might not know this and need us to tell him?

I don't know why you would think that I don't believe that Jesus died for my sins - unless, of course, it's just a way of avoiding the question you were asked.If it's not part of your testimony that Jesus had to die for your sins, and there was no other way, and your not all too happy to tell others all about that (because there will be others there, and maybe they need to hear it), then I don't know what to tell you...
Again, this is not in Scripture, so how do you know?Just try to remember that the whole process of judgement is a question and answer session,
Never said we were. I said that the church is the bride of Christ - I am a member of the church, the body of Christ.Also, God is not yours/mine husband or wife, and we are not equal to Him, etc.
What have I got to be offended about?And, I think you are offended.
What; asking you to provide some Scriptural passages/verses to back up what you are saying?And, I think you should feel great shame in what you are doing, or are saying, or are trying to do, or are doing right now.
I don't know for 100% sure, but since it is a part of the basic gospel, and there being a lot of other people around, and it being the judgement, I think it's fairly likely.I don't know why you would think that I don't believe that Jesus died for my sins - unless, of course, it's just a way of avoiding the question you were asked.
How do you KNOW that God will ask people why he should let them into heaven? It's not in the Bible so where did the idea come from?
There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ, Romans 8:1.I don't know for 100% sure, but since it is a part of the basic gospel, and there being a lot of other people around, and it being the judgement, I think it's fairly likely.
It's not supposed to be condemning, but an exquisite joy for those who are (truly) in Christ Jesus.There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ, Romans 8:1.
So WHERE does the Bible say - as part of the "basic Gospel" - that those who are in Christ, who are born again, are his children and have eternal life are judged for their sins?
If it's such a basic part of the Gospel it should be easy for you to provide the evidence.
*Not holding my breath*.
I never said otherwise - in fact I agreed with you."Jesus died for yours/mine sins" is part of the basic gospel, whether you like it or not,
So you don't know then."All will stand before the judgement" is also in there somewhere also, and I'm sure you can look both of them up.
Judged/rebuked for some of it possibly, but not condemned for absolutely all of it like some will be.I'm asking where he said that born again Christians, his children, will be judged for their sins?
Your question does not exist in Scripture.Why don't, or maybe perhaps "won't", you answer the question?
Does it pose a problem for you?
Because it maybe perhaps should.
If it is not in the Bible, then it doesn't exist.But God will ask you this question, and probably ask you this question first, on judgement day.
So your question has more validity than the Bible?And He's not going to care how much Bible you only think you know if you can't even answer this question.
God bless you.God Bless.
