Why are people content with the fact that they dont know for sure that they're going to heaven?

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!

We don't realize we are going to die until that moment comes. In the mean time people try to satisfied themselves with everything they can have, because this world, this life, is the only thing they have for sure. They don't know what to expect after dying so they try to fill the whole inside while they are living, they do this running after goals that won't last for eternity, obviously.\nThe only way you can stop living denying that someday you are going to die is to find a meaning for life, a reason to live... and that's Christ.\nP.S. Excuse my english, is not my native language.

It's good to believe what you believe, it is also good that you keep Christians thinking, because it makes them look things up in the bible.\nSo believe it or not you are actually helping out...\nthe bible clearly states that all things Good or evil will bring Glory to God...\nSo I truly thank you for your questions it keeps me thinking about God and his kingdom.\n\nAs for plastic who is to really say it is not there I have not been to heaven so I do not know, but it is a GREAT question. \n\nThanks

The heavens as in what you see above you is what will be changed. As to eternal life God declares in His Word a number of reasons we would never be disappointed: \nPsalm 16:11\nYou will show me the path of life;In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.\nAs to eternal life you misunderstand that it is more than time it is quality. It is to know and enjoy Him who has made all the things we like now, how much more the reward to come.\nJohn 17:3\nAnd this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.\nWe look forward to a time when there will be no more pain, no more tears, all things will be made new.

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!

The Bible tells us that Heaven is like Paradise. There will be no problems, worry, tears, or heartache. There will be mansions for all and streets of gold and happiness everywhere!!!!!

You ask a good question, and one that is misunderstood by a large portion of the Christian world. There are good people in all faiths, countries, lands, etc... I believe some are closer to the truth than others, and some are way off in lala land. But as long as their focused on their beliefs, they try to be good people, they are a positive influence on society; they will have their just reward. If you never believe in God, or you never had a chance to hear about God (if you lived in some small country with no TV and no radio or outside visitors), then why wouldn't you get the chance to hear about God later (after death)? Everyone will have a chance to hear about God, to accept his teachings, or to deny them. Whether it’s in this life or the next. The true test is while on this earth, if you have had a chance and believed and then denied your belief, you are screwed. If you never believed, you will have to accept God after death, which isn't a sure thing. We will carry our personality with us into the next life. Some will still deny God even after death. Search your heart while on earth. There is truth out there. If you never find it, just be a good person and contribute positively to those around you. Forgiveness is nothing to God, almost all sins are forgivable. What will be determined in the end is where your glory lies. In Gods house are many mansions, not all in Beverly Hills, some are in the slums, which do you want to live in? Remember, there is not just one degree of glory in heaven, there are three. Each determined by your worthiness. We all will go to heaven; we just won't all be in the same neighborhood. Also, it’s not just about accepting Jesus. You also have to do good things. Just saying you follow Jesus and actually following are two separate things.

I can't understand whats a happiest thought is, For me each and every good thought gives me happiness. I am not able to find the difference in the degree of happiness i experience. \n\nI would be a very happy man rather when i overcome all my vices and become a perfect spiritual personality. Thinking of that day i feel very happy.\n\nI believe that, God simply won't forgive our sins, we must confess and after confessing must not repeat it again, then the first part of ur happiest thought will become true. Heaven is a place where there are no sins or glimpse of sorrow, what would be God or Jesus doing there. I mean to say,  God and jesus are responsible to clear our sins, what will they do in 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.

long time ago in a far away land someone decided that people were living freely, doing just what they wanted, when they wanted and the government had to find a way to put\nthese people in place, so they thought of a story....lets make two places people can go when they die - the place for the good ones (who follow all the rules al the time) and the place for the bad ones (who don't follow the rules), then we threaten them with the bad place and they'll start following the rules, cause they wouldn't want to go there...you see, heaven and hell does not really exist. Come on our loving God put his own children in burning flame for eternity? Does that sound like the God you want to serve? Sounds a bit freeky to me. Truth is God loves everybody, every single one of us and there is only one destination for all of us, which is heaven, but if we were to know that - we'll stop following the "rules". Do you honestly think any one of us "deserve" to go to heaven? Nope...but ALL of us will be there one day and ALL of us will be happy! That's the real truth if you were wondering ; )\nTake care!

its a silly question. in heaven we are not controlled by our needs to satisfy us, we are controlled by our needs to satisfy God...

The way i see it is we cannot prove or deny that these people may have met God. They truly believe they have. So is it so wrong to let them have these beliefs when it makes them content and peaceful within themselves. People want to hope that after they die then they are moving on to another stage of their existence, they don't want to hear that when they die there is nothing. So let them believe what makes them happy as it is not hurting anyone else but bringing them peace.xx

Because people are so consumed with this life and worldy meaningless possesions that we forget that we are going to die and be held accounted for everything that we do. It sort of like that saying "Ignorrance is bliss", if we dont know the truth then thats our happiness.

My belief?  To be honest, I'm uncertain.  I would like to think that there is a God and there is a Heaven, but I can't say that I believe 100% that there is.\n\nMy feeling is that I will live the best life I can, serving others, and generally being a good person.  If there is a God and a Heaven, then I hope that the way I lived my life will be the deciding factor in where I spend my afterlife, rather than whether or not I believed 100%.
