Following Jesus To Heaven :)

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.  On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’  And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’” – Matthew 7: 21-23

Many of us expect Jesus to bring us to Heaven. We tell ourselves that we have accepted Jesus as our Savior, and somehow it’s almost as if we think we are done.

But the Truth is that if we have really, truly accepted Jesus as our Savior, we will Follow Him. We will pray and read the Bible, seeking the Truth of God’s Word with the help of the Holy Spirit and obeying it.

Some read the Bible seeking verses to support their own agenda. But the Truth is we need to ask the Holy Spirit to read the Bible with us and seek God’s Truth, not our own.

And then we need to do our best to Live God’s Truth!
