Can You Not Believe In God And Go To Heaven?

 

The Most High God Calls Every Person To Say They Are Sorry

God is completely pure without even the slightest tint of wrong in His actions or thoughts.
Sovereign God is the creator of patience, holiness, love, honesty, purity and so much more than that. And that is exactly how He created this planet.

The Truth About God

This is not something that God simply chose to enact, to make things harder for humans, it really is who He is. God Most High, cannot become anything else, or act another way. All His governing laws are there to shield His nature and to watch over us.
These things were designed INTO the whole universe, and formulated into humans.
the Most High God could not do anything that is contrary to His Character. You can consider it the 'abiding laws and regulations of the whole universe.'
So, the Sovereign God of the Holy Bible is the Great Maker God of the whole universe, as well as the maker of the tiniest element of an electron, which is too small to see. This is the way the Scriptures explains Almighty God:

I am the LORD; that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise unto graven images. (Isaiah 42:8) For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, a jealous God. (Deuteronomy 4:24)
The LORD is exalted over all the nations; his splendor reaches beyond the sky. (Psalm 113:4)
O LORD, Yours is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and, the majesty, for all in the heavens and in the earth is Yours. Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, and You are exalted as head over all. (1 Chronicles 29:11)
And all the angels were standing around the throne...and they fell to their faces before the throne and worshiped God, (Revelation 7:11)
Where wast thou when I laid up the foundations of the earth ? tell me if thou hast understanding... (Job 38:4)
Surely you know, for you were born then, and the number of your days is great... (Job 38:21)
?Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades, Or loose the cords of Orion?..... (Job 38:31)
I am the LORD All-Powerful, but you have argued that I am wrong. Now you must answer me. Then Job answered the Lord, saying: Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay my hand upon my mouth. Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further... Wilt thou even annul my judgment? Wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be justified? Do you have a powerful arm and a thundering voice that compare with mine? (Job 40:1-5, 8,9)
Then Job answered and said to the Lord, ?I know that you can do anything, and no one can stop you. Who is he that hides counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered what I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not. You told me to listen while you spoke and to try to answer your questions. I heard about you from others; now I have seen you with my own eyes. As a result, I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes." (Job 42:1-6)
?Blessed spiritually prosperous, happy, to be admired are the poor in spirit those devoid of spiritual arrogance, those who regard themselves as insignificant, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven both now and forever. (Matthew 5:3)


The majority of people today, have only been told about God, they haven't genuinely met Him.
So why then, do people self-importantly demand all the answers from Sovereign God, to pretty much everything we differ with? Needless to say, the important queries we have of the crimes against the innocent and of universal justice are good, yet not to the point where we can demand that the Supremely powerful Creator God to provide humans an explanation of His seemingly unfair management of things.

A Maker Owns Their Own Personal Handiwork, Lawfully

The Most High God not only is the owner of the whole universe, but He also is the owner of us also, and what He would like is what is His. His demand is to be devoted to Him in return. It's difficult for you to accept, but this world is His endeavor, and He is able to formulate it however He chooses. If we made it, we would set the terms and conditions. However, Almighty God states:

'So love the LORD your God with all your heart, soul, and strength. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:' (Deuteronomy 6:5-6)

The Creator God Didn't Want Humanoid Bots For Intimate Friends, He Wished For Special Beings

The Creator God may possibly have taken every threat from your world, to make life easier, but only by building everyone as obedient robotic machines. Except that is most definitely not what He sought.
He sought an individual that possessed free will and would willingly choose to be devoted to Him.
A being something like Himself.

If You Furnish These Guys With Independent Choice You Might Lose These Children

But, the danger with granting your produced creature their own independent choice, is that they might forsake you, and that is exactly what we do.
This is a catastrophe, think about all of the occasions we do and think about think about and do that are wrong, this is often also known as wickedness in the Scriptures, they outright assault Holy God's order and godliness, and once again, you may possibly say an offense against the unchanging Laws of the universe - the ordered universe He produced. These transgressions have divorced us from God.

'Crooked is the heart above all things, And it is incurable -- who doth know it?' (Jeremiah 17:9)

'Who can discern his errors? clear thou me from hidden faults.' (Psalm 19:12)

Think of it like this disgusting contrast. A new sterile and clean wipe taken out of a fresh sealed packing to clean your badly bleeding wound, in contrast with a second-hand, dirty wipe having been sat and walked upon for a week off the waiting area chairs or flooring. So how would you feel? Argh, dirty. Now, that is a mere hint of how the Creator God is revolted by our actions that are wrong, which involves the seemingly unimportant stuff we did wrong and sometimes incorrect thinking, that trample on His purity, and violates the permanent laws of the whole universe.
Even the bad things we regard as unimportant, for example: conceit, hostility, ignoring Holy God our Maker, being a blasphemer and not forgiving some person that maltreated us, etc....

All Of These Transgressions Are A Obligation That Must Be Paid Back, To A Sin-Loathing God

Our sins are debts to God:
'and forgive us our debts, as we ourselves have forgiven our debtors.' (Matthew 6:12)

These and other bad things violate the sheer pureness, holiness and rule of God Most High. Every instance we behave them, it is hitting Holy God in the face. In the Scriptures, contained in His Law, God tells us that it is wrong to thieve, have you even once thieved anything you wanted? God tells us not to speak His Sacred name in vain meaning, indifferently. At any time, have you ever blasphemed His Holy Name? God tells us never to envy others belongings. Have you on any occasion had a strong desire to have your friend's life, home, husband or stuff? God pronounces that we honour our parents. Have you ever talked back to your father or mother?

God Most High has all knowledge. And, every evil MUST be punished. A time is coming when ALL evil MUST be judged, or you might say, settle an account to comply with the unalterable laws of the universe. Or as the Bible describes it; to conciliate the rage of God. This may come as a surprise to most people, given that they are generally told that God loves everyone so much, that they believe that God would hardly be furious with anyone due to some wrong they have done.

Over and over I find people, oblivious to these fundamentals, asking ?That's not the type of god I was told about? What's this added command on holiness??

And I reply, "Certainly, Sovereign God actually does love the world, but humans cannot acquire the love facet of Holy God and snub the perfection facet. It definitely is unfeasible. It is unmistakably explained in Scripture, but you are rarely told about this. Regrettably, these days people only talk about the nice things, rather than the whole uncomfortable teaching.
Humans are unable to understand the Heavenly God by with our human standards, feelings and behaviour. He actually is ?not of this world? and He explains to us who He really is and the ways He operates in the Bible. Insisting that He follow our system, only gives us a futile faith in something that is not factual and is going to crash and burn soon.
Humans wrongly blame Sovereign God for the troubles in the world, but it is in no way God?s inadequacy. He produced the whole thing superbly, The first humans screwed up and we continue to screw up. They assault Holy God's order and godliness; the 'abiding laws and regulations of the whole universe.' Holy God is unable to simply come along and make it all perfect for humankind. The system or progression of the world that He set in motion, must come to it's normal end.
Our debt of wrongdoing must be paid for.

But, God offered a plan for all our sin to be paid for, to pay the spiritually legal conditions of God's abiding Law, the fixed law of the whole universe. And that great plan, was the punishment, dying, burial and the resurrecting of His Son, Christ. And, this great triumph was carried out in public in front of all creation ? mankind, angels and Satan.
Jesus was the pure sacrificial Lamb that can pay the price our wrong; attitudes, thoughts and conduct. No other method could pay for all our evildoing.
The Bible says:

'for all have sinned (done bad things) and fall short of the glory of God,' (Romans 3:23)
So, solely living 'a good' life and doing much good cannot rescue anyone from the terrible punishment of the bad attitudes, thoughts and conduct, only Jesus Christ can. If all we do in this world is be a very good person and maybe even going to church, that doesn't rescue anybody and do not permit anyone to experience heaven. Meaning, going away to the Lake of Fire, that is hell:

'For the purchasing the provisions of sin, death; and the grace of God, life eternal in Christ Jesus our Lord.' (Romans 6:23)

It is true, it is not being good that will save us, we have to apologise for the many bad stuff we are doing, and live fully for God. I shall clarify this more in a minute.

For this reason I find that attending funerals of a non-Christian really bothers me. This is also the reason my greatest concern in my life is informing others about who Almighty God really is. To inform people who do not attend church, and, to folks that do attend church but never correctly fully understood what it was about. The misconception of Almighty God is widespread, and is mainly because the teaching they listened to was ambiguous or it was weakened by the erroneous traditions of modern man, from pastors consistently attempting to make the Unceasing, Unchangeable Great God to look as if He is simply a kind, cuddlesome grandpa kind of god, without His breathtaking righteousness and the punishments of sinnful sins. That is actually a man-made god of their own make-believe.
Frequently I see a person argue ?Tell me how could God act like this, I thought He loves us?? Sure, but we will never avoid His punishments of sinnful sins, when His Holy Scriptures says a lot more concerning His righteousness and punishments of sinnful sins, than His great love.
You cannot grasp the reality of the Immortal God by using our perspectives and principles. He really is ?not of this world? and He declares to humans who He really is and that He judges in the Holy book. Wanting Him to adhere to my standards, simply provides us with a dangerously bad notion of Almighty God.
And keep in mind, you will find no way to fake it when you are not real. God is aware of our every thought you have.

The Most High God Made Available The Repayment For One's Wrongdoing, When...

In order to have one's trespasses acquitted and be rescued from hell, is to acknowledge how evil we really are in front of a Most holy God, and to say that we are so very sorry for what we did wrong. And then to fully give up your own life to God, and be subject to Him as boss for the rest of our life. This, is the correct framework of this life on the planet He put together for His pleasure:

'And He said to all, "If any one wishes to come after Me, let him disown himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.' (Luke 9:23)

Jesus Christ never said ?Now be a good or nice person, perform many good works for others, and then you will live with me in heaven .?
No, this is what Jesus claimed concerning how to be acquitted of your transgression:

'To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else, Jesus told this parable:
Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed, 'O God, I thank you that I'm not like other people?thieves, dishonest people, adulterers, or even this tax collector. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all things -- as many as I possess. And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
?I say to you that this one went down to his house justified rather than that Pharisee, for every man who exalts himself shall be humbled, and everyone who humbles himself shall be exalted.?' (Luke 18:9-14)

The Religious man in this teaching is not involved in the supposedly ?bad' wrongdoings like terrorism, as we like to say, however he was not forgiven by Holy God.
While the tax gatherer does do ?bad' wrong things but was acquitted by Sovereign God, given that he genuinely repented.
It is a humbling exercise to confess we are and have been, wrong and to surrender our lives wholly to Almighty God. Yet without it we will never be saved from our wrongdoings, we have to come to Sovereign God very humble and reliant on Him. Jesus said :

'And, having called a little child to Him, He placed it in the midst of them. and said, "Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn, and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.' (Matthew 18:2-3)

Only Doing Marvelous Things For God Won't Save Us

'For by grace, you have been saved through faith. And this is not of yourselves, for it is a gift of God.' (Ephesians 2:8)

So, Do You Plan To Pay Your Own Debt In Hellish Torment Without End??

'And He said to all, "If any one wishes to come after Me, let him disown himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.' (Luke 9:23)

To ?Carry our cross daily? means, we have got to serve in a self-denying fashion day by day for our belief.
The Bible also says:

'I BESEECH you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. (Romans 12:1)

'but sanctify the Lord Christ in your hearts: being always ready for an answer to every one asking you a reason for the hope which is in you, but with meekness and fear.' (1Peter 3:15)

To sum up: God gets to be your chief executive. Always. And as the Bible commands, we live for Jesus Christ, studies in the Scriptures, communicating with God on a daily basis, informing others about the Sovereign God, and helping anyone when guided to. Sovereign God, is our mission assignment and ambition for all of our life.
