Jesus says, "I Am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me".
I know a lot of people who think that being a good person or doing good things or going to church means they are going to heaven. Just because we do those things doesn't mean we believe in Jesus or that he died for us or that He rose and ascended into heaven and will come back. For some reason, some people just don't get it. Good works etc will all come as a result of
believing in Christ, but #1, we need to believe. We need to admit we are Sinners, repent and ask for forgiveness daily #2 and trust Him #3. Then there will be a place in Heaven just for us and just for me.
I, personally, am looking forward to the day I go to heaven. I look forward to the day I see my daughter. I didn't know her very long, but I loved her and in heaven, she will know me and I will know her.
God loves us and will never leave us, ever. It's awesome. It makes me cry.
