Be Sure

Some people think that being a good person is enough to secure their eternity with God. Many people believe they are good enough to get into heaven. God doesn't think so, and He said it Himself in Romans 3:12. Nobody, not a single living soul is good enough to be justified to God, which is why all of us need the saving blood of the Savior Jesus Christ, who came to earth, lived a sinless life, voluntarily hung and died on the cross shedding His blood to cover our sins and provide us with the only bridge to cross the great divide between our imperfection and God's holiness, was resurrected, completely conquering death, and ascended into heaven, sending the Holy Spirit into every believer to comfort us.

When you believe this, truly believe it, it changes you from the inside out, and delivers you from eternal separation from God.

Someone once said to me, "I don't want to be where God is anyway." The alternative, being eternally without the presence of God, does NOT equate to life as usual. A life without God's influence is a life of solitude, pain, sorrow, remorse, depression, hopelessness, anxiety... the worst existence you could possibly imagine multiplied thousands of times, with no relief, for ALL ETERNITY. The quote about it being better to rule in hell than serve in heaven is so far off course it would be laughable if it weren't so horribly sad. There is no ruling in hell. It is Satan's greatest desire to cause as much anguish as possible to as many souls as possible. Every soul in hell will be subject to constant, overwhelming, and completely suppressive misery.

God is perfect peace. God is perfect love. Serving God is my greatest joy. It can be yours too. Be sure. Come share in the blessed hope and spend eternity in perfection. It really IS just simple faith.
