Heaven Is Not Automatic

Heaven is Not Automatic was birthed out of my desire to fulfill the Great Commission; sharing the truth of God's Word in simplicity to those who may not otherwise read the bible.  My passion is to help others understand that heaven is not a guarantee for everyone that departs this life.  God loves us (His creation) so much and desires that we become His children and spend eternity with Him, but unless we understand His Kingdom (His ways of doing things), we could miss heaven.  In this book, I will bring an understanding of the ways of God through His Word.  I have compiled the relating scriptures that highlight the chapters presented, and I believe they will give specific truths that address this subject.  The truth is, God loves us and Scripture tells us that, "it is not His Will that any should parish" but that they come to repentance," (2 Peter 3:9) because He has no pleasure in the death of the wicked. (Ezekiel 33:11).                                                           

Some people believe that everyone will automatically go to heaven when they transition from this life.  I use the word transition because when your spirit leaves your body, your spirit, who is the real you, will go on to live forever in one of two places.  It's not popular nor is it acceptable to some belief systems, that God will send people to hell. The truth is, God does not send people to hell.  He gives us the opportunity to choose heaven, but when we don't accept His invitation to receive Jesus, we automatically choose hell.  He gives us that right. While all of us are creations of God, we are not automatically a child of God.  There are requirements that have to be met before anyone can call themselves a child of God. 

I pray this book gives you insight and clarity so that you might be able to make an intelligent decision and choose the Lord Jesus Christ. I desire more than anything to be obedient to the great commission. Praying with those I encounter to receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior, and disciplining them to do the same for others. As a Christian, it is my responsibility to share the Good News of the Gospel.

This book is written with scriptures compiled from the Holy Bible and my personal experiences. More than anything I want you to have the information you needed to obtain a full understanding of what salvation truly is. There may be some information that is hard for you to understand, consider the information that you can relate to, and pray for understanding for the rest.  If you are reading this book and have not trusted your life to the Lordship of Jesus Chris...
