why do we deserve to get into heaven??

You don't deserve to go to heaven. Since we all sinned, we deserve to go to hell, but by God's AMAZING GRACE and LOVE for us, He sent His only Son to die for our sins and offered us everlasting life because He loved us so much He wanted us to spend eternity with Him.

Not only are the rewards much better but there isn't enough room or time in my answer to you to share some of the details. The single greatest enjoyment in heaven will come as a result of everyone having a character like that of Jesus Christ. With every person being self-controlled and self-sacrificing, it will be better than we could have imagined. To be in the presence of God who is love cannot adequately be articulated with human words. \n\nAn interesting description of some of the activities and experiences in heaven are in an article here....\n\nhttp://ezinearticles.com/?WHAT-WILL-HEAVEN-BE-LIKE-?-A-Description-That-Could-Change-Your-Life&id=351178 \n\nor go to ezinearticles.com and look for article number 351178\n\nYou will not be sorry if you read it.

bornagainbingham is right. PRIDE. \n\nSatan fell from heaven because of pride. He's got a foothold in peoples lives today and puffs them up to believing that their something their not. It's all a lie. We must sinceraly humble ourselves before Jesus and that takes a lot of guts for some people. Just keep praying for them. I have people in my life who I would like to see get saved but are too "puffed up" to admit that they are sinners. Just pray.

You have to buy your way in. That's what the collection plate is for at church.\nBut in reality, there is no heaven. It's all mythology.\nStick to the real world.

Who said we were content? That's the point - we're not content - we're on the edge of our seats!\n\nIf we were content in knowing that we'd be going to heaven, we wouldn't care about our actions on earth. Or some would care, but not care to perfect it and strive to try and make sure that they will be admitted to Paradise.\n\nThis life is a test - not knowing whether or not we're going to heaven is supposed to keep us with the mindset of continous spiritual improvment - and make us the best we can be as human beings!

Definetly Jesus/ God, there is no other person worth it. He created heaven so that we could be with him not his desciples and those he used to do his work.

All Sins keep you out of Heaven.\n\nHowever if you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior then he pays for your Sins and the Sins you commited are removed from you thus allowing you to go to heaven.

the life we are living can infact be heaven. we just need to mold it well and enjoy each and every day of our life with our loved ones- that is the true essence of heaven, the paradise of our lives.

oh this is very nice topic, u know it is really good to convince for what u are, if u accpt what God give us it is the worth of this life and those people who never accpte what they have they suffer a lot. we should belive that God made us in the best for us and the rest is ours, our duty to work it out, to make it perfect as it is done already. God bless u.

just ask yourself-why have you come to this world??? i dont mean to get all "religious" with you, but it's true that god sent you to this world for some reason-you find out what it is and serve god you think is right.  so if you fee like all's lost-think about WHAT's lost, and how that has anything to do with why you're here.   what's the point of doing anything if you're just going to die one time or another.  so you might as well do what you can in this world while you still have time-dont waist it...

Good works won't get you into heaven. Only having faith in Jesus Christ and believing that He died on the cross for you and rose again will. Jesus forgave all of our sins when He died on the cross.

we each have our own purposes for being on earth.  for instance if you were to kill your self and please dont,  but hypothetically it will throw of the balance that god intented.  that is why you go staight to hell without passing go and without collecting 2 hundred dollars.  your purpose for being here could just to be a parent or influence someone to create the cure for cancer or to help lead some people to god.  if you arent there for that what would happen would change.  think about scrooge he saw what his life could have been,  who he effected i belive we all have our purpose,  and we propably wont figure it out until we are gone. ps. geznaks purpose of being here is to be a nusence

Dear Wejut, There are many questions involving the afterlife. the reason religion was invented was because we all have a natural curiosity to know what is beyond this life. The Bible say's However that No religion can Get us to heaven. Listen to What Jesus said, "unless a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of heaven". In other words he is telling us none of our work based religions are acceptable, But that we must be Saved. But Why? let me explain with a few questions........\n\nHave you ever lied (even once--fibs, white lies, etc.)? Ever stolen (anything--the value is irrelevant)? Jesus said, "Whoever looks upon a woman to lust after her, has committed adultery already with her in his heart." Have you ever looked with lust? If you have said "Yes" to these three questions, by your own admission, you are a lying, thieving, adulterer at heart; and we’ve only looked at three of the Ten Commandments. Nothing you’ve ever done is hid from His holy eyes. Will you be innocent or guilty on the Day of Judgment? Listen to your conscience. You know that you will be guilty, and therefore end up in Hell. That’s not God’s will. He provided a way for you and I to be forgiven. \nHe sent His Son to take our punishment: "God commended His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." He was bruised for our iniquities. Jesus then rose from the dead and defeated death. \nYour own so-called “goodness” can’t get you into heaven any more than mine could.  Jesus is the only way to Heaven. He is the "Door," the only "mediator." There is salvation in no other name, so pray something like this: "Dear God, I repent of all of my sins (confess them). This day I put my trust in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. Please forgive me and grant me your gift of everlasting life. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen."

To develop our souls for eternity. To be more holy like God. We come back to Earth born over and over until we learn this. Look at this world it is full of hatred, lack of forgiveness, greed, no compassion, self centered fools, lack of sharing, no patience, no hope, no tollerance, no wisdom. We serve our selves not God. We need to realize our souls will live on. We will go to heaven and see the lives we have led in detail. What did we learn in this life, how did we see our fellow man, what did we do to help others, how did we take care of mother earth?\n\nOur purpose is to love God, become more holy, take care of others, and learn and grown so that our souls can become more. Who will populate other worlds, who will be the next explorers? Those that God chooses, the ones that represent him.

Interesting question...\nWe all feel that we should achieve something in our lives, but it is not an idea we were born with.\n\nLook at the people around you, they are going nowhere. We are all doing what we can, but we aren't going anywhere. \n\nEverything is just what it is & we should join an activity because we want to join in, not because we think we will achieve anything.\n\nIn saying that, how can anyone be happy if they only work to achieve? \n\nThis is the message I recieve from Christains that they are working to achieve a place in heaven and one has to wonder if they are truely happy. Seems kind of selfish to me.

I dont believe im going to heaven--i KNOW im going to heaven. If i were to die this very second i would go to heaven. It's an awesome feeling, and great to know. \nJust in case u dont know...The reason im going to heaven is NOT because of the "good" things ive done. It's because Jesus died on the cross for my sins. We are all sinners, and need God's forgiveness. Repent of these sins, and believe in your heart that Jesus is Lord and you will be saved...It's an awesome thing. I am still a sinner, but i have Jesus to back me up!\nThank God!

because we all sin we all deserve hell but god sent his son to die for us and take the pain of our sin so all we have to do is ask for fogiveness and to believe in him and to know that it is our fault he had to die on the cross (he did all this because he loves us)
