While we were out in town today we were approached by two Mormon missionaries. We told them we had been born-again Christians for a long time and my husband asked if they believed they would go to heaven. They told us that their place in heaven had to be earned through good works. What do you believe? True or false? Personally I believe it to be false and they are spreading a different gospel.
What does going to heaven even mean? As in...all dogs go to heaven? (A children's movie, I think
)
People have little pieces of the truth. But things can be sorted.
Going to "heaven" is for right now. We can walk with Jesus in His habitation ...as a free gift. No one earns their way into the heavenly realm. It is by grace through faith.
But we will all be judged by our works...whether they were righteous or not. But that's at the end of our lives.
By faith we do the impossible right now. We can enter into His eternal life right now.
By a living hope we behave with righteousness so that we can hope for eternal life after this one.
And always in love. Faith, hope and love.
