Lack of faith, or unbelief is the only thing that will keep you out.
If sin keeps people out of heaven then there will be no people there.
Revelation 12:10-11
[SUP]10 [/SUP]And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Accused of what? Accused of sin. Telling the Judge that the brethren are guilty and deserving of death.
Which is true. We are all guilty.
So what is the solution? How do we avoid our death sentence?
John 3:16-18
[SUP]16 [/SUP]For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
[SUP]17 [/SUP]For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
[SUP]18 [/SUP]He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Belief. Belief in the Lord Jesus Christ is what saves us.
Hebrews 4:11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
Do you lack faith? Are you still working your way to heaven?
Mark 9:23-24
[SUP]23 [/SUP]Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
[SUP]24 [/SUP]And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
Ask the Lord Jesus for help. All things are possible for those who ask the Lord Jesus for help.
Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
