GRACE: Gods Riches At Christ Expense

Gods Riches At Christ Expense:

QUESTION: In your personal opinion what do you unsderstand it takes for a person to go to heaven.

I's like to share with you how the Bible answers this question, if it is alright with you. There is a word that can be used to answer this question. FAITH.

F is for FORGIVENESS.
We cannot have eternal life and heaven without God's Forgiveness.
"In him (meaning Jesus) we have redemption through his blood the Forgiveness of
sin." Ephesians 1:7a NKJV

A is for AVAILABLE.
Forgiveness is available. It is AVAILABLE FOR ALL.
"For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son, that Whosoever
beleives in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16 NKJV
BUT NOT AUTOMATIC. "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord Lord' Shall enter the
kingdom of heaven" Matthew 7:21a NKJV

I is for IMPOSSIBLE.
It is impossible for God to allow sin into heaven.
GOD IS - LOVE John 3:16 NKJV
GOD IS - JUST "For judgment is without mercy" James 2:13a NKJV
MAN IS SINFUL "For all have sinned and fall short of the Flory of GOD"
Romans 3:23 NKJV

QUESTION: But how can a sinful person enter heaven, where God allows no sin?

T is for TURN.

QUESTION: If you were driving down the road and someone asked you to Turn, what would he or she be asking you to do? (Change Directions) Turn means REPENT, TURN from something--sin and self. "But unless you REPENT you will all likewise perish"
Luke 13:3b NKJV
TURN to someone, trust CHRIST ONLY (The Bible Tells us that) Christ Died for our sins according to the scriptures: and that he was buried, and That He Rose again the third day according to the scriptures. I Cor 15:3b-4 NKJV
If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and Believe in your Heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved Rom 10:9 NKJV

H is for HEAVEN.
Heaven is Eternal Life.
HERE
"I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more Abundantly"
John 10:10b NKJV
HEREAFTER
"and if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive You to
Myself: that where I am, there you may be also" John 14:3 NKJV
HOW
Understanding what we have shared, would you like to receive this Forgiveness by
trusting Christ as your personal Savior and Lord. (Forsaking All I Trust Him).
