The Unlikely Missionary

NO YOU CAN'T We seem to be fascinated with death and wanting to know what it is and where we go and can we barter with God to get into heaven. We even have movies and books of people claiming that they went to heaven. But that's really impossible. The Bible tells us why in the parable of the Rich Man & Lazarus. (Not that Lazarus, another one. It was a popular name back in the day) You can read the story in Luke 16:19-31 . In this story we have a beggar, Lazarus and this Rich Man. As is true even today this Rich Man treated the beggar incredibly poorly. Meanwhile Lazarus just wanted the scraps from the man's table while dogs licked his sore covered body. Then both men died. The beggar ended up in heaven at Abraham's side and the Rich Man ended up in Hell. Side Note : Even as I type this a new post is coming to me so stay tuned. The Rich Man in hell looks up and sees Lazarus chilling in heaven and asks Abraham if he could send Lazarus to dip his finger in...

Man doesn't determine who goes to Heaven. I know church folks believe the opposite of this but.... only God saves only God qualifies only God determines who goes to Heaven Now that may not seem fair but you can't go over to someone's house and tell them who they can and can't have over. Heaven is God's home so He can admit anyone He wants to. You just have to get over it. The price of admission is the blood of Jesus and the housewarming gift you have to bring is your belief and confession in the fact that Jesus died for your sins. Will you accept the invitation?
