ETERNITY IN PARADISE, WHAT DOES IT TAKES?

[hastrup]

Let me start on this note; It is very unfortunate that soo many people are not making and would not make Heaven because they really don't know what to do to take them to Heaven.

The Christian religion has propagated numerous ways of serving and pleasing God which most of this ways are never good enough to make them earn eternity in paradise.

If I'm regular in church service, praying daily, preaching the gospel of Christ, paying my tithe and offerings, building massive church building, healing and performing driverse miracles in the name of Christ. Would all these acts give me the access to make Heaven?

Of a truth, all these are what God is expecting us to be doing being a child of God but we might be surprised that those things may not be enough to give us access to make Eternity in Paradise.

I have researched and have came to a conclusion that there is only one gate way to Heaven. The way is to please God and do His will. You may want to ask me what the Father will is.

If you want to fulfill the will of God you must keep His commandment and the only commandment is this; GALATIANS 5:14 To love our neighbors as we love ourselves. This is what Jesus will search for when He come to judge the world.

MATTHEW 25:35-46. On the last day, Jesus made it soo clear the way the judgement will take place and what will be requested of us. Many were gathered to the left hand side for destruction not because they failed to attend church services, or because they did not pray regularly or because they refused to pay their tithe and offerings but because they failed to do only onething.They did not attend to their fellow neighbor's need.

In the book of MATTHEW 7:22, Jesus also made us to understand that soo many will be dissapointed for they will be left behind on the last day. They will cry to Him saying; Did we not heal in your name, we cast out demons in your name, we build massive church buildings in your name, we spend all our life time preaching in your name but the Lord label them as workers of iniquity though He never deneiled that those works they claimed to be doing in His name are not done in His name. Why are they workers of iniquity then?

Matthew 25:35-46, They are workers of iniquity because of what they failed to do to their neighbors. ISAIAH 58 Make us to understand that God is never please with what many are calling righteousness before God. True righteousness is the love you share with your neighbors.

I thought the One Way was Jesus.

It takes Jesus....if you hang your acceptance into heaven on your own obedience of how much you love your neighbor you will be disappointed.

The only way into heaven is to be born again. The only way to be born again is faith in Jesus finished work on the cross.

That's the gospel: Jesus death for the remission of sins on the cross and his Ressurection that allows us to be born again through baptism of His Holy Spirit.

We must die and be raised again with Christ.

There is only one way to get to Heaven. Jesus Christ.

In regards to Matthew 7:21-23, I'll never forget, prior to my conversion several years ago, while still attending the Roman Catholic church, I read Matthew 7:22 and thought to myself, wow! These many people accomplished all of that, "prophesied in His name, cast out demons, and did many wonderful works" but that still was not "good enough?" Then I thought to myself at that time, how am I going to "top that" and be "good enough?" Such is the mindset of someone who believes that salvation is by works.

Matthew 7:21 - Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.

John 6:40 - For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.

These many people (unbelievers) in Matthew 7:22 had the wrong foundation. They were trusting in their works to save them and NOT IN CHRIST ALONE. Jesus NEVER knew them which means they were NEVER saved. Their hearts were not right with God, so their attempted external obedience was stained with sin. *Seeking salvation by works is not the will of the Father.

John 17:3 - And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. The term "know" implies intimate, experiential knowledge, through a relationship with Him, not merely theoretical knowledge. These many people were not true converts.

Without faith it's impossible to please God no matter how many alleged wonderful works that these many people set out to conjure up through the flesh. This is why Jesus referred to them as WORKERS OF INIQUITY/LAWLESSNESS! They were self righteous. There are false prophets who prophecy in the name of Jesus and even make false prophecies.

Also, Satan may grant the power to one of his agents to cast out demons from another of his agents in order to gain attention and loyalty from an audience for his evil agenda. False teachers and false prophets have long demonstrated supernatural power granted by Satan, including the power to control the demonic realm. The enemy uses this deception to win an audience for his claims.

Also, in Matthew 10:1, we also see that Jesus gave His 12 disciples power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease. This would include Judas Iscariot, yet Jesus referred to Judas Iscariot as an unbelieving, unclean devil who would betray Him! (John 6:71; 13:10-11).

Apparently, Judas believed that Jesus' name has the power to cast out demons but did not truly believe in His name (John 1:12) and become a child of God, but instead was the son of perdition (John 17:12).

You really consistently sound like you honestly think you're the only one who gets it right and you're here for the benefit of all of us poor schmoes.

One problem. Your premise is wrong. The purpose of God is not us getting "eternity in heaven." You've put Man into the center of everything, instead of God.

Whenever you want to get over yourself, realize you're not the center, we're not the center, and we're not poor shmoes, I might be willing to read your posts.

When we repent of our sin our problems fade. Jesus taught us that but few pay attention:

From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matt 4:17 RSV

The Title had me concerned......Paradise is not the final destination for Believers is it? Pretty sure it isn't........however, if you are specifically asking about Paradise and not our Eternal Homes, then, that's ok.........

This here, which I snipped from OP, brings to mind Jesus' parable concerning the 10 virgins. Now these "foolish" virgins NEEDED that "oil" for THEIR lamps.......Just as Jihadi "terrorists" NEED Christians TO KILL, to expand thier "caliphate"!....hmmmm!
