Some people believe that there are many ways to get to Heaven. Others think there are many different gods and some even believe they are a god. Some thank there really is not a heaven or a hell but that God is going to just take away all the sin, evil, sickness and disease from the earth and that the earth will then be heaven where we will all live forever and ever.
There are those that believe that once they have accepted Jesus as their Savior that it doesn’t matter if they sin or not; they will still go to Heaven. Some say that they have heard all their lives that Jesus is coming and it hasn’t happened so they go on from day to day and never prepare for His coming.
Who is right? Jesus said in John 14:6 “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” Hundreds of years before He came as a baby in Bethlehem it was prophesied of His arrival, life and death and resurrection. It happened just like the prophets declared. That should be enough proof to get our attention. He said He would come back and He will, right on schedule.
Are there any signs today? 2 Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. It would be wise to read 2 Timothy 3:1-5 for yourself. It lays it out plainly some of the signs we should be looking for.
There are more, but in the limitations of space in this article, if you will read these verses, it should be very clear. Jesus is coming. If you want to look further, look at the nation of Israel. Israel is God’s clock. Although Israel did not exist for 2000 years and the Hebrew language was dead; it is not so any longer. Israel suddenly became a nation again in 1948 and the Jews are continuing to return to their home land. Israel is surrounded by enemies that are far superior in number but every time they have tried to destroy Israel, they were defeated soundly. Israel belongs to God. God is her protector.
The Church, which should be strong and powerful today is getting weaker and weaker. She is divided by theologies and denominational barriers and largely has turned to man’s religions instead of a Godly relationship. No wonder there is a great falling away and churches are closing. God, His will and His Word has been left on the back burner and the church has become powerless. When Jesus returns, those who are ready will be caught up to be with Him. Those who are not will not. There are no exceptions. If you are not covered and cleansed by the blood of Jesus and living in a continuous relationship with Him you will not go. There is a heaven where all the righteous will go and there is a hell where all others will go. Both are eternal and you are destined to one or the other. There are no exceptions.
Maranatha!
