Who is going to heaven?

     I have always wondered about this question, but I believe that I have found the answer.  The people who really want to!  These are the people who have decided that they will do what ever God has commanded them in order to reach that home with Him.  Are you willing to do what God has commanded you to do?

     Believe: Mark 1:15- “and saying, The time is    

     fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand;

     repent and believe in the gospel."

     Repent: Luke 13:3- “I tell you, no, but unless

     you  repent, you will all likewise perish.”   

     Confess: Romans 10:9- “that if you confess 

     with your mouth Jesus {as} Lord, and believe

     in your heart that God raised Him from the

     dead, you shall be saved . . .”

     Be Baptized: Mark 16:15-16- “and He said to  

     them, Go into all the world and preach the

     gospel to all creation. He who has believed

     and has been baptized shall be saved; but he  

     who has disbelieved shall be condemned.”

     Worship: John 4:24- “God is spirit, and those

     who worship Him must worship in spirit and

     truth.”

     Be Obedient: John 14:15- “If you love Me, you

     will keep My commandments.”

     Love God and Others: Luke 10:27- “And he

    answered and said, “You shall love the Lord

    your God with all your heart, and with all your

    soul, and with all your strength, and with all

     your  mind; and your neighbor as yourself.”

This list is not exhaustive to all of the commands of God found in the New Testament.  He has laid out for us in His revealed word what he expects of us.  He sent His son to die on a cross so that we might have eternal life.  He has left the rest to us.  Are you willing to do what God has commanded   you to do?

     I hope that everyone has a happy holiday.  I will be leaving to see my family for the week. Please keep me in your prayers.
