Believe In God?
In God's nature, there exists not even the faintest stain of impurity; the Holy One is the originator of virtues like honesty, patience, purity, holiness, love, and much more, which are also reflected in the creation of our planet.
Do People Who Do Not Believe In God Go To Heaven?God's rules for us are based on His own character, not just to make things tough for us. He is permanently restricted to his current state of being and doing. God's actions always align with His inherent qualities.
You could call it the unchangeable laws of the universe.
The God of the Bible is responsible for creating everything in the universe, even the things we can't detect. Consult the Bible to see what it says here:
"I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not yield my glory to another or my praise to idols. (Isaiah 42:8)
For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God. (Deuteronomy 4:24)
The LORD is exalted over all the nations, his glory above the heavens. (Psalm 113:4)
Yours, LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, LORD, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all. (1 Chronicles 29:11)
All the angels were standing around the throne...They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, (Revelation 7:11)
Most people today only have a surface-level understanding of God, they haven't truly connected with Him.
God owns everything, including us, and He just wants what's rightfully His. Our mission is to love Him and show it through serving Him.
This may be hard to accept, but God has complete control over the world He created. If we invented it, we would have the right to decide how it works. Despite everything, God conveys:
'Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts.' (Deuteronomy 6:5-6)
God could've made life easier by making us robots without free will, but He didn't. But, that is certainly not what God wanted. God wanted beings that would willingly choose to love Him.
A creature that shared some qualities with God.
Allowing people to make choices can result in them rejecting you, and that's a risk.
If you allow someone to make their own decisions, they might go against your authority, which is what we did.It's a problem because we all have flaws or do things that the Bible considers to be wrong. These things completely oppose God's nature and holiness, and it's like breaking the unbreakable laws of the universe that He put in place. Our bad actions have caused us to lose our relationship with God.
'The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?'(Jeremiah 17:9)
'But who can discern their own errors? Forgive my hidden faults.' (Psalm 19:12)
Keep in mind that every sin you commit is a debt to God that must be repaid.
The things we owe God:'And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.' (Matthew 6:12)
God's perfect purity is being broken by all of these things. Do you see it?
God is against stealing, according to the Bible. Have you ever stolen anything in your life?
The Biblical teaching warns against coveting someone else's belongings. Have you ever found yourself harboring envy for your friend's partner, lifestyle, possessions, or home?
Honoring our parents is a way to show love for God. Did you ever talkback to your parents?
God prohibits the use of His Name in vain or without reverence. Have you ever blasphemed His Name by saying in a careless way or as a cuss word?
God knows every detail, even the smallest ones. We learned that ALL bad things require correction. There will come a time when every bad thing will be judged. Or, you could say, being at peace with the unchangeable laws of the universe. Or as the Bible calls it, to make God less angry. It's a surprise to many because they've been taught that God's love is unconditional for all. Many people think that God would never be upset with anyone, no matter how terrible their behavior. Constantly I hear people, ignorant of these basics, argue "But, God is supposed to love us unconditionally."
While God loves the world, we must also consider His holiness. It's beyond what can be done.
Grasping the essence of God, who is eternal, becomes unattainable when we use our expectations, behavior, and earthly norms.
He's beyond our wildest imaginations, but the Bible tells us about Him. Trying to make God follow our rules is pointless and won't lead us anywhere real.
People wrongly blame God for the things that go wrong in the world, but it is not God’s fault. The things He created were without flaws. Adam messed up and now we all make mistakes.
According to the Bible...
'For all have sinned (done wrongs things), and do need the glory of God. wrongs' (Romans 3:23)
Just being good and doing good things won't save you from the punishment for bad thoughts and actions. This can only be done by Jesus Christ. Just being a nice person and going to church doesn't give you a spot in heaven. It's important to confess our mistakes to God and ask for genuine forgiveness. After we ask God for forgiveness, we need to dedicate our lives to Him completely.
Again, the Bible teaches us that the result of our bad choices is facing eternal punishment in hell:
'For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.' (Romans 6:23)
God Provided The Payment For All Of Your Wrongdoing
Don't stress, God has a plan to pay for all the bad things we do, so we can follow the unchangeable laws of the universe.God's plan for salvation involved Jesus Christ dying, being buried, and rising from the dead. The incredible plan was done in public, before the eyes of all creation: people, angels, and Satan. No other means can compensate for our misdeeds.
People often wonder why God's love doesn't seem to match His strictness. God's essence is love-based., but, the Bible makes it clear that you can't have God's love without also, His terrifying justice. It's not an either/or situation, it's both.
We can't expect to understand God with our own standards of thinking. It's dangerous to think that God will obey our rules because it's not true. Your thoughts are known by God, and you can't deceive or trick Him.
Hand Over Your Life to God Is Mandatory
When you're truly sorry for what you've done wrong, it's common to feel a desire to live a life for God. God expects us to do precisely this. It's like giving God the ultimate control in our lives for eternity. We are committed to obeying every word in the Bible.The Bible suggests that's the proper way to do things:
'Then he said to them all: "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.' (Luke 9:23)
These words were never spoken by God; 'If you're kind and do good deeds, you'll be saved and come to heaven with me.'
Let me share with you what God said about being forgiven for your sins:
'To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else, Jesus told this parable:
"Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed:'God, I thank you that I am not like other people--robbers, evildoers, adulterers--or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.'
"But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said,'God, have mercy on me, a sinner.'
"I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted." (Luke 18:9-14)
The religious man in the story did not commit "bad" sins like grand theft, but that did not mean God forgave him.
Even though the tax collector cheated, he was forgiven by God because he felt truly sorry and repented. Surrendering our lives to God and admitting we were wrong is embarrassing. Nevertheless, giving up control to God and admitting our mistakes is the only way to be saved.
As stated by Jesus Christ:
'He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them.
'And said, “Truly I say to you, unless you change and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.' (Matthew 18:2-3)
Simply being a good person won't settle your debt; even an exceptionally good person cannot pay it off.
'You were saved by faith in God, who treats us much better than we deserve. This is God's gift to you, and not anything you have done on your own.' (Ephesians 2:8)Will You Take Responsibility For Your Actions And Face The Consequences In Hell?
'Then he said to them all: "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.' (Luke 9:23)We must live for God and put His will before our own every day, which is taking up our cross.
It is also written in the Bible that:
'Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God--this is your true and proper worship. (Romans 12:1)
'But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.' (1Peter 3:15)
At the end of the day:
You come to terms with your faults and sins in the eyes of God. You sincerely seek forgiveness for your wrongdoing. You accept Jesus Christ as your authority figure. It's a lifelong devotion. We dedicate ourselves to living for God, as the Bible teaches us. Learn more about God by reading the Bible every day. Consistent daily prayer is important for spiritual growth. Encouraging others to know God. Supporting those who are struggling. You dedicate your life to the mission of God Most High from now on.
God our Father takes us to heaven.
