Heaven or Hell?

Heaven or Hell?: "Heaven or Hell? It's your choice! Are you 'Good' enough to go to Heaven? Have you done enough 'good deeds' to overcome your sin? Think about it! If you died today, would you spend eternity with God in Heaven or in torment in Hell? Have you ever told a lie? What does that make you? A liar, right? Have you stolen anything? What does that make you? A thief, right? How about using God's name as a curse word? Blasphemy, right? Ever wanted something you didn't have or that wasn't good for you? That's coveting. Let's see that makes four of the ten commandments broken. I think maybe we might be in trouble here. If God is a Holy God and He only allows holy and good into Heaven, were does that leave us? But God is Love, right? Surely a loving God would not send us to a place of torment. But a loving God would also have to be a just God. Would a loving and just Judge allow a criminal to go unpunished? That wouldn't fair or just. A loving and just God must punish sin. Someone must pay the penalty. Ah yes, that's were God's love for us really shows up. He sent His only Son, Jesus to pay that price for us. You might have heard about the 'Free' gift of salvation. Well let me tell you, it wasn't 'Free' or without cost. It cost Jesus everything and although there is no way you can earn or buy salvation, it will cost YOU everything. Salvation is a trade, Jesus dies for us, we live for Him. We die to this life, Jesus lives in us. Do you get it? Jesus takes on all our sins, pays the penalty of death on the cross, and then because of His own innocense is raised from the dead. Now the penalty is paid for all those who accept the gift,... but... once you accept the gift, Jesus comes with it and begins to cleanse and shape your life into the very person that God orginally intended you to be. Cool huh! You don't have to go "clean-up" your life first or do abunch of "holy stuff". You just have to want to let go, repent, turn away from all the junk that is destroying you from the inside out. Do you want to know for certain that you will live forever in Heaven? Then turn this life over to Jesus. Allow Him to wash away your sins and give you a new life here on Earth and Beyond. All you need to do is ask and He will forgive you, and enable you to start New. Do it Now, tomorrow may be too late.
