Everybody Is Not Going To Heaven

I'm noticing even more and more now that when someone passes it is common place to say that the individual is in heaven or that they have gained their wings. At no point, in death or life, do humans become angels. In the bible, angels appeared numerous times in human form, but make no mistake, they are NOT humans *Hebrews 1v14*. We tend to think that because we view someone as being good that they are automatically worthy of heaven. There is none that is good. No, not one!! *Romans 3v10-18* The bible informs us that unless a man is born again, he shall NOT enter the kingdom of heaven *John 3v3-7*. I understand that this subject is touchy, but its one that must be explored. We are not good. We are not great. We are evil, wicked and perversed. You know, its got to be pretty bad if God himself had to descend from heaven in human form just to die for us to have a way to be reconciled back to Him!! *John 3v16-21* Even in this loving gesture from God, we have to have faith that we are saved through God's grace. *Ephesians 2v8-9* All throughout the word mankind is referred to as evil...worthy of an eternity in the lake of fire. Nobody likes to think that we aren't worthy of anything less than spending an eternity with God, right? Because we go to church every Sunday, believe there is a God and we haven't killed anyone or anything dramatic like that, we're clearly in good standing with God? Wrong! Church attendance is NOT equated to salvation. So many distractions and lies are floating in the air nowadays. We want heaven and good things of God, but we don't want to live holy and righteous. The word of God is our life line. It is by the word that we find out what God wants from us and how to operate in this life to prepare for the next one. Contrary to popular belief, Jesus is the ONLY way to heaven. *John 14v6* He says that no man comes to the Father except through Him. Heaven is real, but so is hell and that's where those who die apart from Christ will spend an eternity. So, unless you excepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior and have been born again as a result, then you are NOT going to heaven. Only the names that are written in the Lamb's book of life shall enter heaven. *Revelation 21v27*
