Developing A Healthy Faith: Do Good People Really Go to Heaven?
10/11/09
Dr. Phil Wilkes, John 14:6; John 3:16-17
Do good people really go to heaven. If so, then how good is good enough? How do you know when you have met the threshold of “good”? When do you reach the point of having enough good deeds that you qualify for eternal life and spending eternity in heaven with a Holy, Righteous God? Yes, God loves every one of us. The answer to this dilemma is found in what Jesus Christ has done for us on the cross. Tragically, according to a George Barna survey, only 47% of “born again” Christians believe that you cannot earn your way into heaven by being a good person. 53% of Christians really believe good people are somehow going to get into heaven. This message asks and seeks to find an answer to the question of who really can get into heaven and live with God.
