Heaven Or Hell - We Make The Choice

Heaven and hell is not a place that God sends us to - it is a place that we choose and go.

A child is born with no knowledge of good and evil. After a certain number of years, the child/teenager wilfully starts breaking the law of the conscience and comes under the power of the evil one.

When a person wilfully breaks the law of the conscience, he automatically cuts himself from God (because God cannot have fellowship with sin and darkness) and falls into darkness where the enemy rules.

God cannot befriend darkness and there is no way God can get a fallen person out of darkness without proper justification - because he is just. If he had to overlook justice to take that person out of there, then he cannot be God.

To justify us (for all have fallen), he sent his dearest son Jesus (in whom there is no sin) to become sin and suffer a cruel death on the cross - so that he can see us justified and give us the chance to break the power of darkness and enter into light - because as long as justification is there, God has fulfilled his righteous requirements and can help all those who are willing to be helped.

Now, I have two choices before me - to repent of my sins, accept the justification sent by Jesus and enter into light (which leads to heaven) or stay as I am under the power of darkness where the enemy is the ruler (which leads to hell).

GOD CAN HELP AND SAVE ONLY THOSE WHO WANT TO BE SAVED. WE ARE CREATURES OF FREE WILL - WE CANNOT BE FORCED INTO HEAVEN.
