To be faithful to Christ, we cannot mix Jesus plus something. It’s like mixing water with oil. That’s a messy mix. There is contradiction and opposition between the two.The same goes for anything in life: To stay true and faithful to Jesus we absolutely must deny that which denies Christ.
Getting to Heaven is not a religious thing
I am frightened by the standard set by God for entrance into His Kingdom, into His Family. “Few there be that find it…” Matthew 7:13-14. It is no small thing to be forgiven by God, accepted by God, made a child of God, to finally become a member of God’s family. Salvation by Almighty God is done by Him as we give Him our all. It’s all or nothing. If we do not respond by a life given-over completely to Him, then we are fooling ourselves. We are still damned all to Hell. Bummer of bummers.
No Tolerance for Error
God is not sloppy nor wishy-washy. God is not a slacker with low standards. God is very sure of Himself! After God sent His only Son, Jesus, into the world to die as a man on your behalf… do you think He will tolerate a life lived “ho-hum” for Him?
