Baptists/Heaven, external life

Question
How do you go to Heaven??

Answer
Hi Austin,

Hope you are well and thank you for this question, one that is often asked.

Early Christians and Jews believed that man in the flesh was not pure enough to enter Heaven, thus we go to the Lord in spirit.
Now to enter Heaven you have to be in Christ and really believe him to be our Saviour.


To all those that follow him he has promised eternal life, but remember as it says in Romans 6;23
The wages of sin are death. So we must ask for forgiveness of our sins, although our sins are forgiven by the bllod of Jesus, that does not mean that we can sin, just for that reason.

But he is a loving God and wants all his children to join him in Heaven. Those that are not in Christ will be judged, so we all get a chance.

I believe Heaven will be a place of peace, love and tranquility for all, we will have no pain or sadness and all that were ill will be cured. We will sing and praise our Lord and Father and all will be good.
We will be united with our loved ones, who we will recognise, despite that we will not be in the flesh as we are here.

Just give youelf to the Lord and live a Christian life, adhere to the Commandments and you your place in Heaven will be assured.But also remember that we all slip up occasionaly, God knows that and will make allowances for us as unlike him we are not perfect!

May God be with you!

Expertise

I can answer most questions on the subject of the Baptist/Christian faith. I am an active member of a Baptist Church Fellowship. I study the Bible and the Scriptures every day and have no problem talking to people about this. I am more than happy to answer the Lord's calling and help and support all people that are in need. I believe that is now my role in life.

Experience

Some times people go the wrong way in life because they have been let down by those that are close to them. It is all about trust, compassion and support. I carry out a lot of outreach work, so I know how important these things are to be able to reach people. I have worked with drug addicts and the homeless, as well as young people who have lost their way in life or are in prison.

Organizations
Baptist Fellowship.

Publications
My articles and letters have appeared many times in the local paper.

Education/Credentials
I am am a Deacon and secretary of my church, and also spend lots of time now also ministering to people in old folks homes as well as other outreach work.

Awards and Honors
I have won a National award for working with and supporting sick people.

Past/Present Clients
I do not call them clients, they are people in need of the love of God and of people. I have mentored many young people, including those that are in our local prison, to hopefully live an honest and Christian life.
