Imagine this.
When you finally meet-up with Jesus, what will it be like for you?
What will you say to Jesus when face-to-face with Him?
These are good questions to ask, because it’s going to happen, sooner or later. Every human has an appointment with Jesus. Ready for that?
See:
“Human plans of salvation”
(from verse 19 of 1 Corinthians 1:17-25. Option: Read passage below.)
Do you know what the Bible says about this meetup? The Bible says: Only God holds the keys to Heaven. All the “human plans of salvation” fail from the get-go.
Makes sense when you think of it. He is Creator Of All That Is. So He gets to decide who enters His Kingdom – not you, not me, not some guru, not some false prophet.
We are mere humans. Anything that any of us think-up about who God is and what He demands of us… it’s all phony baloney (“ideas that are absurd and contrary to good sense” – merriam-webster.com).
Why go with stupididiotic, when God has revealed Himself to us through the Bible?

What God has going on with us here on this planet
Are you saved? Do you know that you know you know?

Why Believe Such Stupididiotic Things?!
Oh my! How could I be so uncool Excerpt:
And, oh my, I believe there is a real God, a real devil, real angels, a real Heaven and a real Hell. What a nitwit, to believe all that, eh? Why am I not ashamed?
It’s all okay Excerpt:
Unless we choose to choose
this Christ and Christ alone
we’ll never be in heaven
never make it to this holy holy place
What God has going on with us here on this planet
Read this from BibleGateway in the Living Bible version:
…the simple message of the cross of Christ
1 Corinthians 1:17-25 Living Bible
18 I know very well how foolish it sounds to those who are lost,[b] when they hear that Jesus died to save them. But we who are saved* recognize this message as the very power of God. 19 For God says, “I will destroy all human plans of salvation no matter how wise they seem to be, and ignore the best ideas of men, even the most brilliant of them.”
20 So what about these wise men, these scholars, these brilliant debaters of this world’s great affairs? God has made them all look foolish and shown their wisdom to be useless nonsense.
21 For God in his wisdom saw to it that the world would never find God through human brilliance, and then he stepped in and saved all those who believed his message, which the world calls foolish and silly.
22 It seems foolish to the Jews because they want a sign from heaven as proof that what is preached is true; and it is foolish to the Gentiles because they believe only what agrees with their philosophy and seems wise to them.
23 So when we preach about Christ dying to save them, the Jews are offended and the Gentiles say it’s all nonsense. 24 But God has opened the eyes of those called to salvation, both Jews and Gentiles, to see that Christ is the mighty power of God to save them; Christ himself is the center of God’s wise plan for their salvation.
25 This so-called “foolish” plan of God is far wiser than the wisest plan of the wisest man, and God in his weakness—Christ dying on the cross—is far stronger than any man.”
