We believed in Lord Jesus and were baptized. Since then we’ve been breaking bread in remembrance of Jesus. However, these don’t lead us into Heaven. Yes, it’s true.
It is widely spread that if anyone believes in Christ and be baptized, he will be a righteous man and inherit Heaven. But It’s false.
For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths- 2Ti. 4:3-4.
Don’t believe such statements. If anybody says to you, ‘You just come into politics, you will be a senator,’ would you believe the statement? You don’t if you’re in sense. We know a lot of hard work to be done to be a senator.
Likewise, if somebody tells us that you’ll inherit heaven since you believed in Jesus and was baptized, should we believe that? How on earth is it possible without doing anything as Lord Jesus commanded?
You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that and shudder- Ja. 2:19.
Demons believe and shudder! Will they also inherit Heaven? Of course, not. Know why? They believe, but don’t do as God told. If we’re also like them, we will be there where they will be after the judgment.
When anybody believes in Jesus and is baptized, he will come under salvation. He ought to remain in the salvation until his demise, doing God’s will. Don’t say, ‘how would I know what is God’s will’. God’s will is nothing but doing as Jesus commanded us.
He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear God’s word and put it into practice.”- Lk. 8:21.
“Not everyone who says to me, `Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven- Mt. 7:21.
But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand- Mt. 7:26.
Someone asked him, “Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?” He said to them, “Make every effort{with faith}to enter through the narrow door, because many , I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to- Lk. 13:23-24.
What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? Ja. 2:14.
Faith and deeds are two important factors to every believer. Therefore, we must posses the two factors.
Many believers aren’t aware of this. They suppose they will enter Heaven with faith. Hence, to point out their that they are in error, this post was published, so that they will come to their sense and do as God commanded.
