Then that makes you a blasphemer... blasphemy is a very serious sin. So by your own admission, you're not a good person at all. In God's eyes, you're a liar, a thief, an adulterer, a murderer, and a blasphemer... and you have to face God on judgment day. If he judges you by that standard will you be innocent or guilty of breaking His Holy Laws? You know that you'll be guilty... do you think you'll go to Heaven or Hell by that standard? Hell, right? Does that concern you? It should. Do you know what God did so that you wouldn't have to go to Hell? He sent his Son Jesus to pay the

Then that though you're in no way good enough to get into heaven, and you don't deserve God's forgiveness... by his Grace he offers this to you as a free gift through Jesus Christ. As an example of that free gift, I'm going to offer you this $20.00 bill, even though you don't deserve it... as a free gift. I just said I was going to give it to you, as a free gift... but what do you have to do to actually get it? If you just stand there and "believe" in it, will it become yours? No. You have to come up here and receive it... so come up here right now and get it. In the same way, just "believing" in God won't get you into heaven... even the demons "believe" and shudder.
