IS THERE A HEAVEN AND WHAT WILL IT BE LIKE


How Do You Get to Heaven?


The answer to this question is HUGE – “You cannot get there on your own – someone has to take you there.”  And the only someone who is uniquely qualified is Jesus.  Randy Alcorn is his book, Heaven, makes an excellent point: “Heaven is not our default destination.  No one goes there automatically.  Unless our sin problem is resolved, the only place we will go is our true default destination … Hell.”

Here are the requirements for getting to Heaven. WE HAVE TO BE:

  • Perfect like God – no mistakes, no failures, no sins – ever
  • Holy like God – completely set apart and not blemished by sin or any imperfection
  • Blameless like God – no one, including and especially God, can have anything against us  
Now do you understand why we cannot make it there on our own?  None of us are capable of measuring up to this unreachable, impossible standard.
