Hebrews 6:9-12
Take your bibles and turn with me to Hebrews 6. Let me ask you a question...if you died today or if Jesus decided to come back today, are you certain you would go to heaven? That’s an important question, isn’t it? Because if it is true that there is life after this life, and the bible assures us that there is, and if it is true that there is both a heaven and a hell, and Jesus taught very clearly that there is, and if it’s true that we all spend eternity in one of those two places, and the bible says that’s correct as well, then it’s absolutely imperative that we answer this question: Am I certain that when this life is over that I will go to heaven?
Now, I think there are some people who are confident who should not be. Jesus said in Matthew 7:21, ‘‘Not everyone who calls to Me, ‘‘Lord! Lord!’’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of My Father in heaven will enter.’’ 90% of Americans believe in heaven, and the vast majority think in their brains and feel in their hearts that they will go to heaven when they die. But did you know that Jesus said the majority of people will not go to heaven? Jesus said in Matthew 7:13-14, ‘‘Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow is the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.’’ Jesus was saying that most people are not climbing the stairway to heaven; unfortunately, most people are on the huge highway to hell.
On the other hand, there are many people who are Christians who should be confident in their salvation, but for whatever reason they are not. I meet people who have accepted Christ as their Savior, they’ve confessed Him publicly, they’ve obediently been baptized, they are trying to walk the Christian life, but if you asked them, ‘‘Are you confident that you would go ...
