BAD PEOPLE GO TO HEAVEN AND GOOD PEOPLE TO HELL

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE GOOD TO MAKE HEAVEN 
Mark 10:21 "Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me."MARK 10:21-27 The scripture speaks of Jesus loving this young businesman despite the fact that he was visibly lying about keeping God's commandments. This is stated after this young man said he had kept all of God's commands, which was not the truth. Jesus was showing him that he had broken the very first commandment that states, "Thou shalt have no other gods before me" (Ex. 20:3), and also the tenth commandment that says, "Thou shalt not covet..." (Ex. 20:17). Jesus' tough answer of "sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor" was not intended to hurt this young man. It was said from a heart of love and intended for his own good.  Money had become his god and it had to be dethroned before Jesus could become Lord.This young man lacked faith in Jesus as his Savior the one thing needed to be saved. He was trusting in his goodness and not in the salvation that Jesus offered as a gift. So many people are making the same mistake today. They trust in there religious devotion instead of God.Jesus only came to save sinners.Those claiming to be good are living in denial .Ecclesiastes 7.20  Unless an individual acknowledges that he is a sinner, he cannot be saved. Because the whole world is guilty before God, He has provided one way of salvation for everyone. In the same way that everyone is guilty, everyone also has been justified freely by God's grace.That does not mean everyone is saved. Everyone has had the sacrificial offering of Jesus made for their sins by grace but grace alone doesn't save.We have to put faith in what God has provided for us by grace. Although the price has been paid for the sins of the whole world, only those who receive it by faith will benefit from the salvation that Jesus offers. Receive grace as you read this now for an undeniable encounter with God that would confirm your place in heaven as you ask Jesus to be your lord . Amen.
