Updated: Apr 15


Heaven or Hell
Heaven or Hell

Choose as to whether you are going to heaven – by serving the Lord or going to hell by serving the devil- Is it up to you?

Look at this story in Matthew 19:16-26

Matthew 19:16-26 

A young man came to Jesus and asked, "Teacher, what good thing must I do to have eternal life?"  (17)  Jesus answered, "Why do you ask me about what is good? Only God is good. But if you want to have eternal life, obey the law's commands."  (18)  The man asked, "Which ones?" Jesus answered, "'You must not murder anyone, you must not commit adultery, you must not steal, you must not tell lies about others, (19) you must respect your father and mother,' and 'love your neighbor the same as you love yourself.'"  (20)  The young man said, "I have obeyed all these commands. What else do I need?"  (21)  Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, then go and sell all that you own. Give the money to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven. Then come and follow me!"  (22)  But when the young man heard Jesus tell him to give away his money, he was sad. He didn't want to do this because he was very rich. So he left. (23)  Then Jesus said to his followers, "The truth is, it will be very hard for a rich person to enter God's kingdom. (24)  Yes, I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter God's kingdom."  (25)  The followers were amazed to hear this. They asked, "Then who can be saved?"  (26)  Jesus looked at them and said, "This is something that people cannot do. But God can do anything."


Hebrews 4:1-13 

And we still have the promise that God gave those people. That promise is that we can enter his place of rest. (We can go to Heaven) So we should be very careful that none of you fails to get that promise.  (2)  Yes, the good news about it was told to us just as it was to them. But the message they heard did not help them. They heard it but did not accept it with faith. (3)  Only we who believe it are able to enter God's place of rest. As God said, "I was angry and made a promise: 'They will never enter my place of rest.'" But God's work was finished from the time he made the world. (4)  Yes, somewhere in the Scriptures he talked about the seventh day of the week. He said, "So on the seventh day God rested from all his work."  (5)  But in the Scripture above God said, "They will never enter my place of rest."  (6)  So the opportunity is still there for some to enter and enjoy God's rest. But those who first heard the good news about it did not enter, because they did not obey. (7)  So God planned another special day. It is called "today." He spoke about that day through David a long time later using the words we quoted before: "If you hear God's voice today, don't be stubborn."  (8)  We know that Joshua did not lead the people into the place of rest that God promised. We know this because God spoke later about another day for rest. (9)  This shows that the seventh-day rest for God's people is still to come. (10)  God rested after he finished his work. So everyone who enters God's place of rest will also have rest from their own work just as God did. (When we all get to Heaven) (11) So let us try as hard as we can to enter God's place of rest. We must try hard so that none of us will be lost by following the example of those who refused to obey God. (12)  God's word is alive and working. It is sharper than the sharpest sword and cuts all the way into us. It cuts deep to the place where the soul and the spirit are joined. God's word cuts to the center of our joints and our bones. It judges the thoughts and feelings in our hearts. (13)  Nothing in all the world can be hidden from God. He can clearly see all things. Everything is open before him. And to him we must explain the way we have lived.


Romans 10:4-21 Christ ended the law (The killing of animals for sacrifices) so that everyone who believes in him is made right with God. (5)  Moses writes about being made right by following the law. He says, "The person who obeys these laws is the one who will have life through them."  (6)  But this is what the Scriptures say about being made right through faith: "Don't say to yourself, 'Who will go up into heaven?'" (This means "Who will go up to heaven to get Christ and bring him down to earth?")  (7)  "And don't say, 'Who will go down into the world below?'" (This means "Who will go down to get Christ and bring him up from death?")  (8)  This is what the Scripture says: "God's teaching is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart." It is the teaching of faith that we tell people. (9)  If you openly say, "Jesus is Lord" and believe in your heart that God raised him from death, you will be saved. (10)  Yes, we believe in Jesus deep in our hearts, and so we are made right with God. And we openly say that we believe in him, and so we are saved. (11)  Yes, the Scriptures say, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be disappointed."  (12)  It says this because there is no difference between those who are Jews and those who are not. The same Lord is the Lord of all people. And he richly blesses everyone who looks to him for help. (13)  Yes, "everyone who trusts in the Lord will be saved." (14)  But before people can pray to the Lord for help, they must believe in him. And before they can believe in the Lord, they must hear about him. And for anyone to hear about the Lord, someone must tell them. (15)  And before anyone can go and tell them, they must be sent. As the Scriptures say, "How wonderful it is to see someone coming to tell good news!" (16)  But not all the people accepted that good news. Isaiah said, "Lord, who believed what we told them?"  (17)  So faith comes from hearing the Good News. And people hear the Good News when someone tells them about Christ. (18)  But I ask, "Did those people not hear the Good News?" Yes, they heard—as the Scriptures say, "Their voices went out all around the world. Their words went everywhere in the world."  (19)  Again I ask, "Did the people of Israel not understand?" Yes, they did understand. First, Moses says this for God: "I will use those who are not really a nation to make you jealous. I will use a nation that does not understand to make you angry."  (20)  Then Isaiah is bold enough to say this for God: "The people who were not looking for me— they are the ones who found me. I made myself known to those who did not ask for me."  (21)  But about the people of Israel God says, "All day long I stood ready to accept those people, but they are stubborn and refuse to obey me."


God has set a time limit for each of us to choose. Ecclesiastes 3:2 A time to be born, and a time to die.
