– Luke 1:17
Only the righteous will enter Heaven. You know that, right?
Only logical. How could unforgiven dirty rotten sinners, vile to Jesus – like I used to be 1 Corinthians 6:11, enter God’s Holy Holy Place? Not a chance in Hell!
The Entrance into the Eternal
Well, actually, there is One. (But no chance at all once you have stepped into that Abyss, Hell. No second chances. You must arrange the Way beforehand.)
That One Way? It was precisely for us that Jesus bled and died. THAT is how sinners get saved. That is how we can thus enter God’s Holy Holy Home 1 Corinthians 15:50-53.
Right now — there is hope for salvation in Jesus.
But we can never take sin with us. Not one sin. If you are going there…you must “be sure to wear His robes of righteousness”. Absolutely must.
Still a fool?
Like, really? He, Holy God Almighty, is going to allow your sin there?! Why you? Why that? Think again.
Taking hate? Taking your ways? Taking your views? Um, no. Keeping sin? Expecting God to allow keeping sin AND getting God’s Holiness also? You have to be King Solomon’s Fool to bet on that. What are the chances?
Want to be a fool? Stay a fool? Or: Do you want to heed God’s Word, and follow the Truth? Who would want to go through all of life — and end up… still a fool?

Only the righteous
We are declared “righteous” by God when we accept Jesus as Savior. It’s declared, not earned. That “righteousness”, which we need for entry to Heaven, is not what you’ve worked at all your life. What you’ve gotten on your own? What you’ve been doing in disobedience to His written Word? Worthless to a Holy God. Give it up!
Philippians 3:7-8 AMP But whatever former things were gains to me [as I thought then], these things [once regarded as advancements in merit] I have come to consider as loss [absolutely worthless] for the sake of Christ [and the purpose which He has given my life]. 8 But more than that, I count everything as loss compared to the priceless privilege and supreme advantage of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord [and of growing more deeply and thoroughly acquainted with Him—a joy unequaled]. For His sake I have lost everything, and I consider it all garbage, so that I may gain Christ,
Here is Philippians 3:8 in other versions:
CEB But even beyond that, I consider everything a loss in comparison with the superior value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. I have lost everything for him, but what I lost I think of as sewer trash, so that I might gain Christ
CEV Nothing is as wonderful as knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. I have given up everything else and count it all as garbage. All I want is Christ
ERV Not only these things, but now I think that all things are worth nothing compared with the greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. Because of Christ, I lost all these things, and now I know that they are all worthless trash. All I want now is Christ.
EASY Yes, now that I know Christ Jesus as my Lord, that is the most valuable thing. Nothing else is important at all. I have thrown everything else away, so that I can serve Christ. All those other things are like dirt to me. I think about them like that, so that I can have Christ.
Got the attitude?
The righteousness we need for God’s Holy Heaven is the righteousness of Jesus. We don’t “do it”. He gives us His. It’s “imputed” MerWeb.
“the righteousness of Jesus is credited to believers through faith, allowing them to be accepted by God.”
– Source: Does 1Corinthians 1:30 Imply Imputed Righteousness? | | by
Jesus paid it all. It’s there for the asking. He freely gives us that righteousness IF we seek Him with all our heart.
Jeremiah 29:13
“Then [with a deep longing] you will seek Me and require Me [as a vital necessity] and [you will] find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.“
Have you sought God with all of you, 100%? You know you have received His salvation then.
I’ve been declared “free of guilt”
Basically Jesus says, “You’ve been set free. Pardoned.”
Got the attitude of the righteous?
Luke points out, “the attitude of the righteous …is to seek and submit to the will of God”.
Luke 1:17 “It is he who will go as a forerunner before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers back to the children, and the disobedient to the attitude of the righteous [which is to seek and submit to the will of God]—in order to make ready a people [perfectly] prepared [spiritually and morally] for the Lord.”
Here on earth God is preparing a people to be “spiritually and morally” ready for His Return. Are you ready? It is of upmost importance to prepare for Him. Prepare as if your entire afterlife depended on it. Because it does.
Prepare Your Eternity with great fear and trepidation
Get on God’s side – and be in the Truth
The disobedient also (of Luke 1:17) are exactly who God is working on. That you? Can you feel it? The most important advice you can hear? Don’t resist Him any longer. Don’t stay any longer as…
The unAccepters, the unBelievers,
the Rejectors…
“this adulterous and
sinful generation Mark 8:38.
The Whosoever People who miss the turn – to Jesus. They:
…resist His salvation parameters (sticking to their fabricated rules for living),
…are ashamed of Jesus and His Way
…do not receive the kingdom of God as a little child
…will not lose their life for Jesus’ sake (but “saves his life”)
…will not bear his cross (in order to follow Jesus’ Way)
…will not forsake all else 100%
In God’s reality we are born “legally damned” because of sin. But the better side of God’s reality is: we can become “legally forgiven” if we get born again. Thank God!
Imagine life without hope.
Get the attitude! The righteous have an attitude.
Get down and get saved. That’s the attitude. It takes you into eternity with all that is good. Let God show you “the salvation of God“.
“…to him who orders his way rightly
[who follows the way that I show him],
I shall show the salvation of God.”
– Psalm 50: verse 23

Born again. Reborn from above …references in the Bible about being “born again”
Jesus said,
“Truly, truly, I say to you,
unless one is born again
he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
– Found in John 3:3 and John 3:7
Legally damned – Legally forgiven…the reality of God: Born damned – reborn set free!
Jesus paid it all…His righteousness is “imputed” MerWeb to us.
Salvation is a God thing…”the salvation of God”
Does 1 Corinthians 1:30 Imply Imputed Righteousness? | | by
30 But it is from Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us
wisdom from God [revealing His plan of salvation], and
righteousness [making us acceptable to God], and
sanctification [making us holy and setting us apart for God], and
redemption [providing our ransom from the penalty for sin]….”
This is forgiveness…”legally forgiven”
Realities God has established…God’s reality. Excerpt:The reality of whether you are a true Christian is NOT something you just say, but rather: reality is what you are and what you do. Does what you do show you are following Christ?
Believe that Jesus is the Messiah – the Anointed One…One Way
The Godman Jesus said “follow Me”…follow Jesus’ Way
God hears us and wants us to approach Him with sincere and honest prayer
Imagine “what being saved” has meant to you Excerpt: What it has meant to me – “being saved“
I am absolutely, supremely jazzed by the thoughts – as I have paused to imagine what “being saved” has meant to me. Pause a moment to think of this with me, will you?
What has “being saved” meant to you?
The Righteous Person…me, you – in Christ
The reality for us now Excerpt: He now offers us —
-
- The hope of His resurrection, now,
- His promise to save those who sincerely believe in Him — and
- His promise to resurrect us all from the dead at the End Times.
Why we never lose our salvation in Christ…you think God can’t keep you saved?! What kind of little god do you have?
You cannot lose what God keeps secured for us
“The spirits of the righteous made perfect”
Imagine what “being saved” has meant to you…What has “being saved” meant to you?
You thought that I was just like you…God speaking
Specific salvation parameters to get saved
Specific salvation parameters Jesus absolutely requires…no exception. We must.
This is forgiveness Excerpt:Forgiveness by God is offered to us only during this one life span on earth. You’ve got to pay attention, put a lot of thought into this: Today is your chance to choose.
If you’re going to God’s Home Heaven…Be sure to wear His robes of righteousness
Your chance to choose…beforehand
Jesus only always for all times…That One Way
Hope in Christ…there is hope. Right now — there is hope for salvation in Jesus.
Prayer of Repentance…Get down
God forgives all wrongdoings of all repentant sinners, no exception…repent
My wild and crazy stallion heart
Keeping sin AND getting God’s Holiness also
The Whosoever People who miss the turn – to Jesus
Turn your shame into repentance
This is bliss being with God forever in Heaven
Allow God to turn your heart Excerpt:Got an attitude?
By definition in the Bible, a righteous person is someone “walking blamelessly” in the sight of God (Luke 1:6). The righteous person has an attitude. That attitude says, I want “to seek and submit to the will of God”
God’s fantastic home – for those who follow Him…God’s Holy Home Heaven
Want it – to know it… God’s message to us
What God does to prepare you for Heaven
Heaven. What’s it going to be like?
What we will be like in God’s Home Heaven Excerpt: In God’s Home Heaven, we will all be: living in incorruptible, immortal bodies…loving God forever “with all that we are”.
Ashamed of Yourself? Excerpt:God does not overlook and excuse sin (Romans 1: verse 18). Never has. Never will. However, Jesus dealt with the sins of others in a much more merciful manner than we tend to do with our self and our sins – and the sins of others.
The sins around us and the sins we do Excerpt:Sin is real because God Himself is real. He defines what is sin and what is not. The alluring siren songs are the enemies of our soul tempting us to shipwreck our life with sin (1 Timothy 1:18-20).
Legally Damned – Legally Forgiven…Born damned
You’ve got mail! A message from God the Father Excerpt:A message has been sent to you. It is the message Jesus brought down to you from Heaven. It is the message of God the Father for you – and for all mankind. He cares about you and me.
He is calling all humans everywhere to repent of their sinfulness and follow His Way. Do you want God’s approval? Have you made that commitment toaccept Jesus and follow Him?
What are the odds of you going to Hell?…That you?
The tragic error many live in all their life
There is no other “saving gospel”
Be the one who endures and overcomes
The sins around us and the sins we do
When you are wrong and just don’t get it
Better is thinking with God’s Word
Know your thinking – Save your future
Know your terms. Truth – Apostate – Antithetical – Heritical
What was it like – your confession to Jesus?
Those who like it but don’t live it
As if your mindset is protected by God…What you’ve been doing in disobedience to His written Word
Prepare your eternity with great fear and trepidation
What if? God looks inside your soul and says “I am not your Lord” – Matthew 7:19-24
Betting your eternity on your thinking?…bet on that? What are the chances?
Taking hate to Holy Heaven? Your ways, your views?…Like, really? He’s going to allow your sin there?! Why you? Why that? Think again.
King Solomon’s Fool Extract: Want to be a fool? Stay a fool? Or: Do you want to heed God’s Word, and follow the Truth? Who would want to go through all of life — and end up… still a fool?
Seeing Hell verse-by-verse…that Abyss, Hell. Excerpt: What God has in the works
If we take some Bible verses referring to Hell, and put them end-to-end… we can get a distinct feel for what God has in the works for those who reject Jesus. Hell is real – although certainly not my first choice for where I want to go!
Hell is my last choice, last on my list, not what I really want
The sins we can practice to go to Hell. Just so you know.
Caught-up with a practice God has said not not to practice?
Letting it reign until Hell is Home Excerpt: Letting sin dominate…cautioned to the extreme
There is a reason Christians are cautioned to the extreme about letting sin reign your life. It’s no small thing!
Our God is extreme to the nth! He is extreme beyond our understanding – not some ethereal, mere Force to be with you.
