However, I discovered that (even I already knew) that No One Will Enter Heaven because of our sinful nature. There's a standard of holiness - The Ten Commandments (Exodus 20) - which everyone cannot keep them all!
Let's us just look at 4 Commandments for instance:
1. "Thou shall not lie" - we all do that ... even when we are already Christian ... thinking since white lies don't hurt anyone, it's OK ... NO! It's not OK with God! A lie is a lie and we call this person a liar!
2. "Thou shall not steal" - we did that some point of time in our own lives - when we were very young and even when the value of the things we stole may be negligible ... it is still stealing. Such a person will be branded as a thief!
3. "Thou shall not commit adultery" - at some point of time we would at a woman (even a man) and in our stirred a desire for that person - such is lust and being an adulterer! The Bible said that even when we just look on her/him, we already committed adultery in our hearts (Matthew 5:28).
4. "Thou shall not take the name of your Lord in vain" - many people (including myself in the past) had use His Holy Name in our swearing. The Bible calls this blasphemy! When one does that, he/she is a blasphemer!
The Bible clearly stated in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 and Revelation 21:8 that such sinful people - liars, thieves, adulterers, blasphemers, and all other wickedness - will not inherit Eternal Heaven and instead be sent to Eternal Hell - the lake of fire which never ceases.
You and I are guilty of all these when Jesus comes again on Judgement Day. Hell is a real place! (Matthew 13:49-50)
More to come...
