Hi everyone,

I ask a question for you. Will you believe to enter in Heaven? What do you doing a faithful? I suppose you will earn your service to God? You feel ready to enter in Heaven? Or not? You suppose you have a service like help other people, preach the gospel, give them for foods or clothing, etc. If you will believe to enter in Heaven? Why or why not?

Hi christy!
Good to talk to you again!
I believe that anyone who believes with all their heart that Jesus is their Saviour, will go to heaven. I don't that that service gets us into heaven. Only faith. But, I think it's fun to do service and to help other people, because this brings us closer to Jesus. He wants us to do that! But I think anyone, whether they serve or not, will get to heaven, if they have faith.

hmmmmmmm.... Well, I don't know how it will be in Heaven, but I am sure that God has many things for us to do there, and mainly it will be fellowship and love in Him. I believe that Heaven will be place where each person will have things to do with their own talents. On earth, I serve God by praying for missionaries and supporting them in foriegn countries, and I also share the Gospel with sailors and other people. I also volunteer at a Christian shelter for the homeless.
Doing this gives me joy because I know that I am helping Jesus .

Oh Christy! :hug: If you have accepted Jesus into your life, and you are following Him then you are going to heaven no matter what. All of us "sin". Everybody. When we become Christians, that doesn't mean we have to be perfect. All of us have a struggle, maybe for you, your main struggle might be having patience with your family...but everyone sins. The difference is, then when we have Jesus in our lives, the Bible says that God will not remember our sins, that Jesus washed it all away. All gone! *poof*. So even when we sin, we just say we are sorry, try not to do it anymore (very hard, I know) and just keep going....You can serve God any way you think its right for you to do. Maybe you could teach Sunday School in sign language? Maybe you could help organize the church office files. Maybe you could help clean the church. (I do that every Sunday.) Serving God doesn't always mean being a preacher or famous like Mother Theresa. You can serve God in any way you want to, and feel happy. But remember: You have Jesus in your life, in your heart, and in your mind, and so you are saved no matter what. You will not lose your salvation. That is not a true teaching in Christianity. (Some people say it, but nobody I know and respect, believes it. I don't believe you can lose salvation.)

Hey Christy.. I have that problem too. I have very little patience for my family, but I'm learning to get better...

The trick is to always be looking at Christ. See?
Yeah, it's very tricky to me. Jesus is only head under us. As like, Jesus is a body as christian people to the toes.

That's great!!!! That's wonderful! My friend, Lizzie, at my church does the Sunday School for the deaf also. See? You are serving Christ in a VERY IMPORTANT WAY!!! A way that very few people can do! You are helping Jesus to teach these people...that is fantastic!
So you are already very close to Jesus by doing that. You are very special to Him.

Yes, you have to accept Jesus in his entirety. And through the graces of God, you will be able to enter heaven. Suzannah, I must disagree about saying that salvation cannot be lost. To say that refutes the awesome gift of free will that God has given to us. We have the CHOICE to reject Him, and it is for that very reason that we are so richly rewarded when we ACCEPT Him.

27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand.
29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand.

Christy, Suzannah brought it to my attention that my post might have been taken the wrong way. My intent wasn't to even try to imply that you are going to hell. No, not when you are so determined in this with such good intent. Our God wouldn't be an all loving God if he allowed that. The purpose of my post wasn't to emphasize theological differences. It was to emphasize that according to my belief, the mere fact that you HAVE chosen to follow Christ, and continue to do so, is made that much more blessed by the fact that you have the free will to throw it away at any time you want. You choose every day to accept Him into your life, and that is a beautiful thing. I hope this clarifies any misunderstanding for you.

Christy, you are so right! It does say that doesn't it? so we have to stay strong with Jesus and cling to Him and serve Him....Matt! You're a great guy! ;) Thanks for your post.

Hi Wolflady!:wave:

I believe that getting to Heaven is all about accepting Jesus as your Lord and Saviour and striving to live as God wants us to. None of us will ever be perfect, so I don't think anyone will ever feel like they are ready for Heaven. We will go to Heaven not by our works, but by our being saved, and striving towards perfection. We will never reach perfection on this earth, but as long as we are making progress and striving to please Him , we are doing His will. That's what gets people to Heaven. :):angel: Helping others is fine, but that's not what gets one to Heaven. :)
