Our Belief
If something happened to you right now and you stood before God, would you go to Heaven? If you say, "I think so" or "I hope so," would you like to know for sure? Jesus says we can know for sure (John 20:31). If you say "yes," what do you base that on? Being good will not take us to heaven for Jesus says that in our human condition, "There is none good, no not one." Being baptized, doing good things, even going to church will not take us to heaven, (Matthew 7:21-23). For all have sinned (Romans 3:23) and the wages of that sin is death (Romans 6:23) but the Gift of God is eternal life through Jesus. He paid our sin debt for us (Romans 5:8).
