the ultimate question

Probably the most important question someone ever asked me- "if you died tomorrow, do you know if you would go to heaven?" When I was asked this question, I did not know for sure. I mean i had always been a good person, volunteered in my community and at church, I got good grades, i was a friendly person but i did not know for sure. I guess I had always assumed I would because I was a good person. But the way this person asked me.... how did they know for certain that they were going to heaven? This is what initially sparked my interest. I had always believed in God but this was a whole new concept to me. My question to you is the same thing- the most important question there is- if you died tomorrow- would you go to heaven? If you are reading this and thinking- i don't know- how can you be sure? then I have news for you- you can be certain! The fact of the matter is that we are all sinners- we have sinned before and we will sin again. But it doesn't matter! Jesus was sent to this earth to die on the cross for our sins. So no matter what you do- no matter big or small it is covered! God washes away our sins! Probably one if not the most quoted verse "For God so loved the world  he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life." In the beginning, we were all doomed to go to hell. Heaven is perfection and we were and are not perfect. But God sent Jesus to take that for us so that as long as we believe in him and accept him into our heart, we can be like Jesus and go to heaven and be with him for all eternity. One sure thing is that we will all die one day and no day is garuanteed. You will either go one place- heaven or hell and you have a choice. The great thing about God is that he gives you the choice. It says in Romans 6:23 "for the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord". We will die but with Jesus we can have that wonderful eternal life. Everyone can be saved- "And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the pname of the Lord shall be saved"- Joel 2:32. I want to be able to go to sleep at night knowing that my mom, my family, friends, and every one that i come into contact with is going to heaven with me! All we have to do is believe that in God and that he sent Jesus to die for us, accept that we are sinners, and confess that sin. God loves us more than we can possibly imagine and I cannot explain the peace that comes with being saved and knowing that you have an incredible God that will carry you through anything! There is NOTHING that God can't handle. He will never give you anything that you cannot handle you just have to trust in him."But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." - Isiah 40:31. I pray that if you are reading this and do not know for a fact that if you died tonight, that you would go to heaven please text me call me ask someone about if just if you want to know more! This thought just fell on my heart tonight. i am going to heaven and i want to take as many people with me as I can. I do not have all the answers, but Jesus does. If i do not know an answer to someone's question, I will find someone who does. God bless everyone and know that God loves you and if you ever need anything- you can call me!  I promise, there is no feeling like being saved. People use the word Joy without i really think know the feeling but i tell you what, with God, I have felt true Joy. This life comes down to the most important question, and I pray that your answer to that question is yes.
