PIC: We are more than little sparrows (Luke 12:7).
I am writing today, and have been for some time now, very concerned for where you may spend your eternity. Yes, you. You are reading this, right? So I am writing to you.
I really care about you, or why else would I risk offending you? That is why I write: to share this with you.
What is more important?…nothing whatsoever!
Just so you know: I will speak frankly, not mincing words to be “polite”. I do not mean to offend you.
There is nothing on earth more important for anyone – than being prepared for eternity. You agree? So listen-up.

Whoever you are – you must have realized by now that you yourself have no special entry visa permit to Heaven. The fear of death shows us all up with that. Why else do people fear dying and death? So what have you done about it?
The Bible gives us hope with our coming experience in this, death. Have you looked into it lately? I have – and I’m not afraid of death. What I rather prefer is what’s coming next!
Who do you think you are? You think God has privileged you above all others so that you may walk smoothly into Heaven when you die?
On what do you base your confidence that Jesus will accept you into His extremely holy Kingdom. With all your past sins, your present “ways” of living – you think Almighty God is preparing a special place for you? He does not admit sin into His Place. That’s a scary thought.
By what I read in Scripture, very few people will enter Heaven. So what makes you think you are a special one? God has told us what He requires of us. Do you know what those requirements of His are? Have you met those requirements? Most have it all wrong.
Is it well with your soul? Jesus would agree with you? And you know this… why?
If there is nothing more important for your soul — then why not get right with God Almighty — now? It behooves us all to be ready. Right? Damn right! Google it: Damn…in the sense of “precisely right”.
After all, if we get right with God now (this side of eternity), rather than wait till it’s too late — then we spend eternity with Him and all that is Good. That’s the best deal ever! Or are you into stupid?
Psalm 14:1
The [spiritually ignorant] fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they have committed repulsive and unspeakable deeds; There is no one who does good.
Galatians 6:7-8
7 Do not be deceived,
God is not mocked;
for whatever a man sows,
this he will also reap.
8 For the one who sows to his own flesh
will from the flesh reap corruption,
but the one who sows to the Spirit
will from the Spirit reap eternal life.
Salvation through Christ
Salvation is the entry point into Heaven. Let’s think of “getting saved” in non-biblical terms:
Salvation is your passport to Heaven. You have it – you enter. You don’t have it – well, like with any sovereign state, you are turned away at The Gate.
Ever travelled and walked up to the passport checkup gates? You absolutely must get your visa permit… or you ain’t travelin’ here. THAT’s what I’m talkin’ ’bout. Before that final check-in, make sure you have your Passport to Heaven ready.
“Don’t leave earth without it”
All of us get this permission granted to enter Heaven by one way. Jesus is that only Door to Heaven. And God has given us saving knowledge of His will concerning our entry. If you are unsure of what Jesus will say to you when you pass on through to the other side: Isn’t it time to know?
Choose to change your eternity
Unless we
choose to choose this Christ
and Christ alone
we’ll never be in heaven
never make it to this holy holy place

Pride references at BibleGateway:
Proverbs 8:13 “The [reverent] fear and worshipful awe of the Lord includes the hatred of evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way, And the perverted mouth, I hate.
Proverbs 11:2 When pride comes [boiling up with an arrogant attitude of self-importance], then come dishonor and shame, But with the humble [the teachable who have been chiseled by trial and who have learned to walk humbly with God] there is wisdom and soundness of mind.
Will you be turned away by Jesus?

Creation Is Important Excerpt:
The Bible…teaches us that God chose to create each and every one of us. Each human! And He did so in magnificent form – creating us after His own image. He created us with an individual plan for us – a plan for good, not for bad. (Genesis 2:18, Romans 8:28, Psalm 69:16)
I am very much valued by God, according to His Word, and that makes all the difference in the world between hopelessness and a living hope, between feeling worthless and feeling valued. In fact, God so loved me, that He suffered the life of Jesus, becoming a poor man, and then suffering derision and dying on a cross – so that I could be set free from His sentence of damnation against me. (Read: The Damning God)

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.”
