HEAVENLY PATH BIBLE STUDY
PATH TO HEAVEN ENTRANCE
For those who can hear ... I will reveal to you the TRUTH
of God's Grace today, and the TRUTH is this ...
God sacrificed His only Son to get His children into Heaven.
Think about that for a second ...
God sacrificed His ONLY SON to get YOU into Heaven.
|
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but
have everlasting life. |
But, why did God CHOOSE to sacrifice His Son?
It is very simple ... Because God loves us so very much and
mankind had done so much bad, that all the sacrificing in
the world would not cleanse away the sin.
See, long ago,
sacrifices were needed to cleanse away the sins that mankind
had committed against God.
But now ... Jesus is the eternal
Sacrifice.
Believing in Jesus, cleanses away OUR past sins.
God loved us so much, that even knowing the only sacrifice
that would suffice, was His own Son ... He decided to do it
anyway as to save His children.
One more thing to ponder on ...
Jesus Himself CHOSE to lay down His life for YOU.
The Bible is CLEAR ...
The first step that you have to do to get into Heaven is ...
BELIEVE IN JESUS
|
John 6:28-29
Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might
work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them,
This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom He hath
sent. |
HEAVENLY PATH TRUTH
PATH TO HEAVEN IS THROUGH THE LAND OF GRACE
There are Self proclaimed, Christian leaders, who suggest that LAW and WORKS prevails
over God's Grace and say that LAW and WORKS are the way to
Heaven
and these rascals demand that the burden on Christians is to
be heavy, so that it makes it to enter the gates
of Heaven.
These individuals have no compassion,
understanding or love for others, in their heart. They have
no concept of the love that God has for His children. Their
desire for self edification, blinds them from the TRUTH.
The Apostles learned from the Holy Spirit that the Jewish
customs and some of the Jewish Laws were NOT to be placed
upon the Gentiles (Anyone who is not Jewish)
As well they should not be under the Old Covenant as God has
made a NEW COVENANT and that is why it is said that the Holy
Spirit directed this:
|
Acts 15:28-29
It seemed good to the Holy Ghost,
and to us,
to require no more burden
than these necessary things, that you abstain from
meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from
things strangled, and from fornication: from which
if you keep yourselves, you'll do well. |
In short if you are not Jewish ... YOU are a GENTILE.
You
are not BOUND to JEWISH customs of the Old Covenant.
|
John 1:17
For the law was given by Moses,
but GRACE and TRUTH came by Jesus Christ. |
As Christians, we are bound under the NEW COVENANT (New
Testament) not the Old Covenant just as our Father said He
has broken the Old Covenant.
|
Zechariah 11:10-13
And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it
asunder,
that I might break my covenant which I had made with
all the people.
And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the
flock that waited upon me knew that it was the word of
the LORD. And I said unto them, If ye think good, give
me my price; and if not, forbear. So
they weighed for my price
thirty pieces of silver.
And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a
goodly price that I was prised at of
them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them
to the potter in the house of the LORD. |
The Old Covenant ended when Jesus died and Judas Iscariot
and the Religious leaders weighed His price for 30 pieces of
silver and they crucified our Lord and He died for our sins.
The
NEW COVENANT then began.
Now, make no mistake my friend ...

HEAVENLY PATH BLESSING
WALKING THE PATH TO HEAVEN
|
God's Grace reveals that if you TRULY believe in Jesus and
the TRUTH that He was willing to die for you, and did, that
you would know that He loves you so much that you will want
to do what He wants you to do because you would know that He
is looking out for your best interests. You will try hard
not to do things that would make him ashamed or disappointed
in you.
You may fall, but always remember that only a worm
is free from the worry of stumble and the real test is to
see if you will get up, dust yourself off, carry on and
never surrender.
SAINTS ... ARE JUST THE SINNERS
THAT FALL DOWN AND GET UP !!!
As time passes, you will find that you begin to make the
right choices, out of love ... Not fear of punishment.
It will be your FAITH that establishes your WORKS
HERE IS THE TRUTH ...
|
Galatians 2:21
I do not frustrate the Grace of God. For if righteousness
comes by the LAW ... Then Christ is dead in vain. |
|
Ephesians 2:8-9
For by Grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of
yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast. |
In TRUTH ... It was some Self proclaimed Religious leaders,
back in Jesus' day, that were constantly following Jesus
around quoting LAW. His responses were so compelling that
they ran away in fear and confusion. They became so afraid
of losing their high places, that they devised a plan and
had JESUS crucified ...
They used LAWS to do it.
They
claimed they were doing a God service.
|
John 16:2-3
They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time
cometh, that whosoever killeth you will
think that he doeth God service.
And these things will they do unto you, because they
have not known the Father, nor me. |
THEY WERE WRONG !!!
But, God had a plan and His Will ... Was done.
Jesus said it best, when the Self proclaimed Religious
leaders of that time brought a woman before Jesus, to be
judged for a sin that she had committed. They asked Jesus
what should be done to her, knowing that the LAW said that
she should be stoned to death ...
After drawing in the sand for a bit ...
JESUS
SAID
|
John 8:7
He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone
at her. |
They
all dropped their stones.
HEAVENLY PATH OF MERCY
PATH TO HEAVEN AHEAD
So, If you are one of the "holier than thou" teachers of LAW
and elect to judge the lost, which are potential Christians
... Beware, lest you find yourself being judged, as you have
judged these lost souls, and YOU losing God's Grace.
Many Christians and even some Churches, judge other people
by the clothes they wear, length of hair, which side of town
they live on, the color of their skin, past experiences and
mistakes they have made, etc.
It is very sad that these individuals, who consider
themselves to be better than another of God's children (even
though, they know in their hearts that they were also
forgiven of their sins of the past, and received God's Grace
and still sin) and that these people would find it necessary
to judge another, in some vain attempt to appear to uplift
themselves.
Pretending to be doing a God service.
Their view makes the Cross, of no effect.
God sacrificed His only Son to get His children into Heaven.
Now, tell me ... Do you think for a moment that our loving
God is sitting up there saying to His children, "If you so
much as make a mistake, I will put you in the depths of
Hell" ... After, He let His son die a painful death to get
His children into Heaven?
Of course not ...
THIS REMINDS ME OF A STORY
There was a man, that we will call Mr. Smith, who was
sitting in Church with his wife. He had just dozed off,
during the pastor's sermon, when he awoke to the sound of
the collection plate coming around. He watched as the people
next to him put in what they could afford, which was very
little. When the collection plate reached him, he cleared
his throat very loud, as to gain the attention of all those
around him, and put a hundred dollar bill into the
collection plate. When Church was over, he was edging his
way through the crowd towards the front door and saw a
statue of Jesus. He thought to himself, "he needs a haircut
and a shave."
On the way to his favorite restaurant for brunch, he came
upon a stoplight and saw one of THOSE people. You know, the
ones with a sign that says "Will work for food" ... This guy
had long hair, a beard and very dirty, worn out clothing. As
he came to a stop, Mr. Smith rolled up the electric windows
in his new Cadillac and turned his head away from the poor
looking man, who was now just outside his window, with his
hand stretched out towards Mr. Smith. After what seemed like
forever, to Mr. Smith, the stoplight turned green. Before
Mr. Smith pulled off, he rolled down the window and yelled
out, "Hey, ya bum ... Get a job," and then sped off laughing.
A few years later, Mr. Smith died of cancer and ended up at
God's Judgment seat. Jesus asked Mr. Smith why it was that
he thought he was worthy to get into Heaven. Mr. Smith said
proudly that he donated a hundred dollars every time his
wife could drag him to Church. Jesus asked if that was the
only reason and Mr. Smith said, "Yes, of course, I have paid
for my way into Heaven" ...
Jesus looked at Mr. Smith and said ... "I disagree ... You
failed to have compassion and love for your fellow man, when
the opportunity arose. You are greedy and selfish and are
not worthy to enter Heaven." Mr. Smith, convicted by Jesus'
Words, turned and started walking away with his head hung
low. Then Jesus said ... "And, by the way Mr. Smith ... I am
no bum and I DO have a JOB."
|
The moral of this story is echoed throughout the entire Bible.
|
Matthew 25:40
What you do unto the least of my brethren, you do unto Me. |
|
Hebrews 13:2
Be kind to strangers, it could be an Angel testing you. |
HEAVENLY PATH WARNING
PATH TO HEAVEN DANGER
Some Christians and even some Christian
leaders, make it hard for those who would become
Christians to do so because they preach LAW to the
potential Christian instead of God's Grace by saying such
things as "If you have ever done this or that, you are
damned."
|
Matthew 23:13
But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye
shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go
in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to
go in. |
For example ... If a potential Christian had ever divorced
their spouse, stolen anything, abused drugs, had sex out of
marriage, smoked, cussed or anything else one can think of
... It somehow makes these Self appointed, "holier than
thou" teachers of law, feel that they have the right to find
the potential Christian unworthy of God's Grace and to pass
judgment. This causes the potential Christian to walk away
and never consider becoming a Christian again.
My friend ... If any of this has ever happened to you, do
not let it prevent you from receiving God's Grace which is
free to everyone.
When you truly believe in Jesus, God forgives your past sins
... PERIOD !!!
SUMMARY
It all comes down to a choice. The choice is yours. Nobody
can make it for you.
You can either deny this TRUTH
of JESUS and be
cast into the Lake of Fire ... FOREVER.
OR
BELIEVE IN JESUS, WHO DIED FOR US.
And live FOREVER in Heaven.
EITHER WAY ...
Forever is a LONNNNNNNG Time.
Some people ask, but what if all this is just a bunch of
superstition or fairy tales.
I ask you this ...
What if it is not?
Be wise ... CHOOSE JESUS.
Now I ask you ... What do you have to lose by just believing
in Jesus? It sounds like a tiny investment for great
returns.
He is the best eternal life insurance policy, money can't
buy.
