Are you good enuf to go to heaven??

Just 1 life...

Just thinking the other day about how 1 life affects another. My mom likes to say often what we do affects other. The other day out on a main route (near our home) a semi-truck driver fell asleep at the wheel. He went over the embankment and into incoming traffic and took the lives of 6 other people (5 died instantly and 1 at the hospital). One life and a careless act (that will probably haunt the driver for the rest of his life) affected and killed 6 other lives (not to mention their families and friends).

A lil' over 2,000 years ago, Jesus died up on the cross. His life's blood affected the whole world. He was beaten and hung on the cross so that my sins and your sins could be covered. It's a harsh fact, 10 out of 10 die. We are all going to die. It could be from a car crash or a spider bite or cancer. The ways to die are limitless, but the fact that we will all face death, is not. My dad has a great bumper sticker on his work van that states, "Many plan to seek God at the 11th hour and die at 10:30." Isn't that true?

Thoughts to ponder....

What gets you into heaven? Who goes to heaven? Who goes to hell? Whose standards should we live by?

Now that I hopefully got ya thinking, take this test..
Are you good enough to go to heaven???
