A Step Away
Heaven and Hell.

People have asked, “If my God is so loving and kind, why would He allow some people to go to Heaven, while letting others go to Hell?”

I respond by saying that I do not believe that God has a scoring system for rating “when good is good enough to go to heaven” and “when bad is bad enough to go to Hell.” God knows that we will all fall short of the standard created by His Holy nature. Rather than thinking in terms of a wall between “good enough” and “bad enough,” think in terms of everyone’s sinful nature being “incompatible” with God’s holiness.

Jesus is, so to speak, “God’s line in the sand.” Those who seek the light of His true nature and immortality will stand with Him. Those who prefer the darkness of the world’s lies will not. Although God wants an eternal relationship with everyone, He makes the offer.

We must make the choice!

John 17: 20-26
