Jesus Is The Password To Heaven
Every time someone tried to enter heaven, they had to give a password to an angel at one of heaven's gates. The first man told the angel I've done many good works. I've given away millions of dollars to poor people and I never missed a church service. The angel said this is not the password and sent this man to hell. The next man told the angel, I've been a good Catholic, I've been baptized, I never cheated anyone, and was kind to everyone. The angel said that's not the password and sent this man to hell.
Finally a humble man told the angel, I'm just a filthy sinner whose sins were washed away by the blood of my Lord Jesus Christ. The angel replied open wide the gates of heaven and welcome this blessed christian home forever into heaven's peace. Remember that it takes faith in the Lord Jesus to make it to heaven. Good works, baptism, and religion without Jesus send people to hell. Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again. Acts 4:12 says Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name (Jesus) under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Jesus said at John 14:6 I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Trust Jesus and go to heaven. Trust anything else and go to hell and the lake of fire.
A Story About A Minute And A Million Years
And A Penny And A Million Dollars
A man went up to heaven and he asked God, Is this eternity? God said Yes. Then the man asked God, What's a minute like in heaven? God said A minute is like a million years and a million years is like a minute. Then the man asked God, What's money like in heaven? God said A penny is like a million dollars and a million dollars is like a penny. Then the man asked God, Can you loan me a penny? And God said In a minute. Psalm 90:4 tells us what it's like in heaven. For a thousand years in thy sight (Lord Jesus) are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. 2 Peter 3:8 says But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. John Newton told us when he wrote the hymn Amazing Grace, When we've been there 10000 years bright shining as the sun, we've no less days to sing God's praise then when we first begun.
The joys and pleasures of this world are temporary and disappear. Hebrews 11:25 tells us that the pleasures of sin only last for a season and eventually disappear. But the pleasures with our Lord Jesus at the right hand of God are for evermore. Psalm 16:11 says Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence (Lord Jesus) is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. After a very wealthy man died, someone asked his family, What did he leave behind? The family replied He left it all. This wealthy man couldn't take anything from this world with him after death.
1 Timothy 6:7 says For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. Therefore only what we do for Jesus in this life lasts forever. 1 John 2:17 says And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. Do something for Jesus that will be rewarded in everlasting heaven. Bless widows and fatherless orphans and witness Jesus everywhere.
A Story About A Man Who Thought He Could Take His Money In The Attic
With Him To Heaven
A man once said "I'm going to put all my money in the attic so that when I die or if I live to see the rapture, I'm going to get the money on the way up." After this man died, his family went up to the attic to see if the man took his money with him to heaven. After the family found the man's money in his safe, the family said "How sad, He went the other way. He should have put his money in the basement."
Don't be foolish and trust in the fading riches of this world. Instead get saved with Jesus who can give you joy and peace that will last forever. The joy and peace with Jesus is better than all the billions of dollars on this earth. Christians will be walking on a street of pure gold transparent glass in a city of pure gold clear glass in heaven.
I encourage everyone to memorize a blessed scripture at 2 Thessalonians 3:16 promising eternal peace that says Now the Lord of peace (Jesus) Himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all. Just get saved with Jesus and receive His eternal peace. Study the blessed Word of God that lasts forever. Psalm 119:89 says For ever, O Lord, thy Word is settled in heaven.
One Of My Favorite Quotes From King Solomon About Wisdom
Proverbs 11:30
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life
and he that winneth souls is wise
The wisest man Solomon told us that we are wise if we win souls to the Lord Jesus. According to Proverbs 3 when we are wise and win souls to Jesus, we receive riches and honor, length of days, and pleasantness with peace. Wisdom who is Jesus according to 1 Corinthians 1:30 is better than silver, gold, rubies, or anything that you could desire. You might ask Why is a person wise that wins souls to Jesus? They're wise because they have invested in something that lasts forever with rewards.
The lost sinners that christians win to Jesus will forever thank christians and Jesus in heaven for saving them from hell and the lake of fire. The value of winning one lost soul to Jesus is worth more than owning everything on this earth. Mark 8:36 says For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
In other words winning one soul to Jesus is worth more than all the billions of dollars in this fading world. Jesus said at Luke 15:10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God (Jesus rejoices) over one sinner that repenteth. James 5:20 says Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way, shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
One Of My Favorite Quotes From CT Studd
Only one life; twill soon be past
Only what's done for Christ will last
CT Studd is one of Brother Bob's heroes. CT Studd was a millionaire that gave away all his money to George Muller to help orphans and DL Moody to help him win souls to Jesus. After CT Studd gave away all his money, he went to India and Africa to be a missionary for Jesus at the age of 50. One of Brother Bob's favorite CT Studd quotes is Some want to live within the sound of church or chapel bell but I want to run a rescue shop within a yard of hell. And CT Studd said to replace the Exit sign in your church with the phrase You Are Now Entering The Mission Field.
According to CT Studd, only the treasures we've laid up in heaven will last forever. Matthew 6:20 says But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal. And Jesus said to have treasure in heaven give to the poor at 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.
The bible tells us not to allow the devil to distract us from the simplicity that is in Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:3 says But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. And Brother Bob like Paul tells everyone 2 Corinthians 1:12 that says For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.
Some Of My Favorite Quotes About Godly Simplicity
If it's right, do it
If it's wrong, quit it
If you have a complicated explanation for your sins
with a bunch of alibis and excuses
90% of the time it's wrong
I pray in Jesus name that this bible study blesses multitudes everywhere with great joy, peace, and strength.
