Page 14 - The Gospel Truth About Death and Dying_Neat

But there is a false belief among some people that we all go to
heaven when we die, no matter about our choices here on earth.

This is wrong. The Bible does not say this, and it is merely wishful

thinking.

God makes it very easy for us to believe, and to choose heaven
over hell. But it does require a choice. It requires a decision on

our part.

Besides . . .

Why would someone who has excluded God his entire life want

to go to heaven to be with God and Christians for eternity?

Does that make any sense at all? No, of course it doesn’t.

If you didn’t like someone, why in the world would you want to

go spend all of eternity living with them? The truth is you

wouldn’t. This is why God simply asks us to choose him now,
during this life — before our hearts stop pumping blood, and

before we take our last breath.
