A Christian belief

  A Christian belief

The apostle Peter said,

"And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.'" Acts 2:21

The apostle Paul wrote,

"That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.  

For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.  Romans 10: 9,10.

For a Christian getting into heaven is simple or so it seems? We do not get into heaven by our works the apostle Paul writing,

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—  not by works, so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2:8,9.

It is by the Grace of God we get into heaven. By believing, having faith in His one and only Son Christ Jesus. 

And while having faith in something may seem simple it is not necessarily so. In the book of Hebrews we read,

“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.  This is what the ancients were commended for.” Hebrews 11:1,2. 

Now having said that. Having faith for many people is a very difficult thing. Believing in what you cannot see, feel or hear can be a daunting task for many people. Many people refuse to believe in anything they cannot see, feel, or hear. Yet the book of Hebrews tells us,

"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." Hebrews 11:6.

So the question becomes do you truly have faith there is a God and that Jesus Christ is His one and Only Son The Way to heaven?

The choice is yours.

Please think about it.
