2. Saving faith (or belief) in Jesus Christ is what allows someone to eternally dwell in Heaven.
Our belief in Jesus for our salvation (or lack of it) determines where we spend our Eternity:
Heaven or Hell.
Luke 16: 19-31
Two “neighbors” die and face the eternal consequences of their life’s choices.

3. Romans 1: 18-19
18 “The wrath of God is being revealed from Heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 
19 since what may be known about God
is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.”

4. Romans 1: 20-21
20 “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—His eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from
what has been made, so that people are without excuse. 21 For although they
knew God, they neither glorified Him
as God nor gave thanks to Him,
but their thinking became futile and
their foolish hearts were darkened.”

5. that we deserve God’s judgment, what can we do
“Since we know
that we deserve God’s judgment, what can we do
to make things
right with Him
and escape
the consequences of our sin?”

6. have eternal life. 17 For God did not send
John 3: 16-17
16 For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but
have eternal life. 17 For God did not send
His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.

7. “Some religions seek to appease
the spirit world through activities such as animal sacrifices or paying money
to a witch doctor or a shaman.
Some religions teach that people can atone for their sin by enduring suffering now…so they won’t suffer later. Other religions teach that people can make up for their wrongs by doing more right.”
- Bruce Wilkinson

8. If we believe that adding good works into our lives
will eliminate our “sin debt” before God…that’s like doing Extra Credit assignments
in English class and expecting them to help your Math grade!
Good works make an impact on our eternity for our good after we have accepted salvation by faith in Jesus.
