Please take a moment to watch the clip below from the TV show 'Parenthood' which my wife and I enjoy watching on Tuesday nights, but in this episode they got one important aspect regarding heaven very, very wrong.
No, No, No! That is not how it works at all! Not everyone gets to go to heaven! The Bible is very clear that only those who have repented and trusted by faith that Jesus paid for their sin debt will be able to go to heaven. Those who have not put their faith in Jesus Christ will go to Hell (a very real and extremely unpleasant place). That is just the way it is.
"But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire ans sulfur, which is the second death." Revelation 21:8
Please don't be fooled to think that by doing enough good things that you will be able to go to heaven. The Bible says in Ephesians 2:8-9, "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not of your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast." You see, it is a gift from God and no one can do enough to earn there own way to heaven. It cannot be done. Think about it...wouldn't heaven be quite a boring place listening to everyone brag about what they did to get into heaven.

If you have more questions about what it takes or doesn't take to get to heaven, I urge you to please click the "Good Person Test" logo on the top right part of the page. Consider what is shared and if you have not yet repented and placed your faith and trust in Jesus Christ to pay for your sin debt. Please do it today! Tomorrow may be too late.
You know, in wrapping this post up, it is very likely that not everyone will end up in heaven because of their hardened and proud hearts, but God's free gift is for everyone. Therefore, everyone has the chance and/or choice to go to heaven. Which will you choose? Life or Death?
Great Post!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more. In fact I watch this show and specific episode and remember cringing when they got to this part. Thanks for posting!
