The answer is 
33.
Dear Friend, the others may make you “feel good” or even
“spiritual” but
they can’t get you into heaven.
LET’S
START AT THE BEGINNING -
1. Ever told a lie? 2. Ever taken something that wasn’t yours?
3. Had impure thoughts about someone else? Of course you have. The Bible says all have sinned so you are a lying, thieving
adulterer! Now you may be thinking “Wow! That’s a bit
strong. I
can’t be that bad! There’s a lot worse than me - I’m no
axe-murderer!” Like most people you’re crossing your fingers
and somehow hoping that God will let you into heaven with a 50% pass
mark,
right? Furthermore, we don’t think of ourselves as bad, because “every
man is pure in his own eyes” (Prov 30:12). The majority of
criminals
think this way too. But the Bible says we are not wise to compare and
measure
ourselves with each other (2 Cor 10:12). “For ALL
have sinned, and come short
of the glory of God.” (Rom 3:23).
HOW
FAR SHORT?
100%
SHORT!
God’s standards are so high, the Bible says even the good things we do
are like filthy rags in his eyes -
not the bad things but the good things! (Is 64:6)
WHAT
ABOUT LITTLE SINS?
You’ve probably
thought that a loving God should overlook your sins and only punish bad
criminals like murderers, child-molesters and rapists? But
the Bible says: “For whosoever shall keep the
whole law, and
yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.” (Jam
2:10). There are no
big or little sins in God’s eyes. If
you’ve done one – you are guilty of the whole lot.
BUT
WAIT ... THERE’S MORE!
God made Adam the father
of the human race, so when he sinned, his sin was put into everyone’s
account –
like a computer virus (Rom 5:12). Our
natures got changed from “pure to
sewer” and from then on, we were born with
a sinful nature. We don’t need to be taught how to sin - we take to
it like
“ducks to water”. We sin because we are
born sinners. Baby baptisms mean
dry babies just come up wet babies.
WON’T THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS OR THE GOLDEN RULE GET ME INTO HEAVEN?
No my friend, the ten
commandments were given to keep us out
of heaven, to show we are sinners and how far short we fall
compared to God
and his perfect standards. It’s 100%
perfection or hell.
CAN
I EARN MY WAY TO HEAVEN?
If
we could earn our way to heaven then Jesus didn’t need to die for us. Dear
friend, you can’t get right with God by a moral life, church
membership,
sacraments, baptism or the 32 points.
Trying to earn or do something for it, is called believing in your own self-righteousness. The Bible says, “Not
by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his
mercy he
saved us.” (Titus 3:5).
WILL GOD JUDGE SIN?
As God’s standard is 100% perfection,
this means that your
righteousness must equal that of the
sinless Jesus Christ. Unless you have 100% record you are condemned to
hell.
The Bible says “... it is appointed
unto men once to die , but after this the judgement:” (Heb
9:27) and “Because he hath appointed a day, in
which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man (Jesus) whom he hath ordained;” (Acts
17:31)
WHO
GOES TO HELL?
All sinners! Particularly the religious
good people of the 32 points at the beginning of this article.
Jesus spoke more
about hell than heaven and with good reason - he didn’t want anyone to
go there. It’s a place of damnation,
darkness, weeping, torment,
everlasting burnings, the flames never go out and their worm never dies, wailing and gnashing
of teeth and no exit ever. (Lk
16:26; Matt 22:13, Mat 24:51;
The torment will be extreme and God won’t let you
kill yourself to
end the pain.
WHAT ABOUT PURGATORY?
This is a made up Roman Catholic lie 1. To give relatives
false hope 2. To get more money from them through fear. Why
can’t your
family pray for you in purgatory? You won’t be there. It doesn’t exist! When you die, you will find yourself in
either heaven or hell for eternity. REWARD:
$100 million
for finding purgatory in the King James Bible Bible. There’s no
re-incarnation (Heb 9:27)
or ‘six-foot under’ either. (Matt 25:46; Jn 5:28-29)
WOULD A GOD OF LOVE
SEND ME TO HELL?
He has no choice. You’ve
rejected the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible says, “For
God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever BELIEVETH in him should not perish, but have
everlasting
life.” (John 3:16) and “He
that BELIEVETH on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that
believeth
not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.”
(John 3:36)
DOES
SATAN RULE & REIGN IN HELL?
No, he’s never been there, but he will. He’s the god
of this
world (2Cor 4:4). God made hell to cast Satan & his angels into
for everlasting torment with those who reject Christ (Matt 25:41; Rev
20:10,14).
Satan won’t be punishing you. He was defeated at the cross. Hell is God’s everlasting punishment for Christ
rejecters.
IS
BELIEVING ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST THE ONLY WAY TO GET INTO HEAVEN?
Absolutely. Believe
that his perfect works and his shed blood
paid for your sins to give
you right standing with God. IT’S A GIFT. The Bible says, “But to him that worketh not, but BELIEVETH
on him that JUSTIFIETH THE UNGODLY, (no eating
the wafer here)
his faith is counted for righteousness.” (Rom 4:5). You
won’t
fear judgment day because you will, “Be
found in him, not having mine own righteousness ...but that which is
through
the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith.”
(Phil
3:9)
WHAT
ARE MY CHOICES?
Only two: q God’s love of “Jesus shed
blood” or
q God’s wrath - “I reject Jesus’ shed blood
No choice is a choice
and not choosing won’t make it go away. Every minute you delay is a
minute closer
to your eternity in hell. Instead of coming to God and promising him
you’ll clean
up your act, he’s waiting for you to
say: “I’m a sinner! I can’t measure up to your high standards! I
deserve
eternal hell fire. I BELIEVE Jesus’ SHED blood plus
nothing
paid my sin debt in full.”
CAN
ANYONE GET TO HEAVEN? Yes!
God is “...not willing that any should
perish,
but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Pet 3:9).
WHAT
WILL STOP YOU?
Your religious traditions, pride,
fear of friends, your
self-righteousness (Mk 7:13) and simple
disbelief!
THIS IS YOUR ONLY
HOPE.
Water baptism, confessing sins, good works, penances,
church membership,
religion or church rules equals
absolute 0%. They wipe out completely the
shed blood of Jesus. Stop
believing your self-righteousness and believe on the righteousness of
Jesus
Christ. You’re a sinner, you’ll die a
sinner, you’ll be judged a sinner & you’ll
be condemned a sinner. Your ONLY hope is the SHED
blood of
the Lord Jesus Christ.
ETERNAL LIFE IS A
FREE GIFT
You
can’t earn it, work for it or buy it. The
Bible says, “...the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus
Christ our
Lord.” (Rom 6:23). The
Bible says “... Christ Jesus came
into the world to save sinners ...” (1 Tim 1:15). It also says, “For whosoever
shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
(Rom 10:13). Eternity is forever and hell is real, but if you want to
be saved,
believe what the Lord Jesus Christ did
on the cross and believe and pray with all your heart:
“DEAR GOD, I’m a
sinner & deserve your everlasting wrath in hell. Jesus died for my
sins and
his SHED blood paid it all. I reject all other means of works
and
beliefs. Please save me. Amen.”
Note: The
gospel says nothing about
the 32 points above. The gospel is all about what Christ has done.
The
work for our redemption is finished (Jn 19:30). "Christ died for our
sins" (1Cor 15:3). His death on the cross is past and never to be
repeated
(Heb 10:26). Nor does the gospel say
anything about what we must do, because we can do nothing (Titus 3:5;
Eph 2:8-9). It is the power of God unto salvation to those who BELIEVE (Rom 4:50). It’s all
about the blood: “… the blood: and I have given it to you upon
the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is
the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.” (Lev
17:11)
HOW
ABOUT YOU?
“…there
remaineth no more sacrifice for sins.”
(Heb
10:12, 14, 26). If you trust in just one of the 32 points, you will go
to hell.
“What?
NEVER TO BE LOST! Are you kidding me?”
Dear Reader, you were
born into your earthly family. If you go to a court and say “Dear
Judge, This
is not my family!” The Judge will
say “Your DNA is the same! Yes, it is your family.” Now, if you are
born into
God’s family, you CAN’T get
out! Do you want to continue to sin? God will chasten and even kill
you, but
he’ll take you to heaven (1Cor 11:27-30,31). The Bible says you can KNOW FOR SURE YOU ARE SAVED! (1John
5:13).
