in the willingness to respond or the choice to turn away
Lets look at something.. Reader.
Most people, including most believers, falsely think and believe........>"God sends some to hell".
But that is acutally not the case.
Why?
Well, its like this.......
Heaven.....is a eternal destination.
Hell....is a eternal destination.
They are both waiting for you, after you die.
So, a person decides, to end up there.......one or the other, based on....>"What did you do with Jesus, while you were ALIVE".
See that?
So, if you decided to REJECT CHRIST< all your life, and are never born again and DIE....= then you have chosen HELL as your eternal destination, followed by the Lake of Fire.
You chose it....YOU CHOSE this eternal destination by rejecting Christ while you were BREATHING, and God is going to let you go....where you chose to END UP, after you die.
He is not sending anyone to hell.....He is only honoring the choice they made, while they were alive.
And so it is with Heaven.
WE can all go to Heaven....but we have to obey the ONLY WAY to get there.....and Jesus is the ONLY WAY, and there is no other.
Not water.
Not works
Not church membership
Not mary, the pope, billy graham, or feeding orphans in India for 60 yrs.
Jesus said, you "MUST BE BORN AGAIN"< and that is the only WAY...... its through HIM, and that is a Spiritual BIRTH. John 14:6.
See, to be born again, means that the Blood of Jesus has taken care of all your sin, and its your sin that has to be resolved while you are alive, or you will not be allowed into Heaven.
This is the "preaching of the Cross"......which is to tell people that the Blood of God, and Christ on the Cross has been shed for them...
COME and become CLEAN.
COME and become CLEAN.
Come and let God clean you, and make you righteous with the Blood of Jesus.
This is the "preaching of the Cross".... 1st Corinthians 1:23
