True Christian or Nominal Christian? Choose Wisely

Most Christians believe they are guaranteed a spot in Heaven.  Yet the Bible tells us there will be many who assume they will go to Heaven.  However, Jesus says that only a few will go to Heaven, and most people will be kicked out as obnoxious party crashers.

If you are kicked out of Heaven, there is only one other place to go; the Lake of Fire in Hell where your soul will be punished forever and ever.

For example, in Luke 13:22-28, the Bible tells us about Jesus doing his ministry:

"And He [Jesus Christ] went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. Then said one unto Him, 'Lord, are there few that be saved?' And He said unto them, 'Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.  When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, 'Lord, Lord, open unto us'; and he shall answer and say unto you, 'I know you not whence ye are':  Then shall ye begin to say, 'We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets'. But he shall say, 'I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity [iniquity is chronic, premeditated sin]'. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out."

So why do so many assume they should be let into God's House (ie. Heaven for Everlasting Life), but only a few will be allowed to enter and be saved from the Lake of Fire, and its everlasting torment?

I suggest the reason is that many or most are Nominal Christians, and are not True Christians.  True Christians are those who:

• Believe in Jesus Christ;
• Follow God's Will (ie. His Commandments) on a consistent basis; and
• Practice all the teachings of Jesus Christ on a consistent basis.

If all you give is a few dollars and lip service to being a Christian, you should wake up, smell the coffee, and realize you are fooling yourself and possibly a few humans who don't know you well.  Anybody who knows you well, and certainly God and Jesus will know well and good that you are a hypocrite, a phony, a Nominal Christian.

To help you understand this better, here is a flowchart (ir more correctly known as a Concept Map), showing how God, Jesus, and Humans are inter-connected, and the only path to Heaven.

Between now and Dec. 10, 2018 I believe Jesus will take the next step in His End Times process.  I am not sure what that next step will be.  Thousands or millions may die in WW III, or the Rapture will occur, or something else.  If you aren't a True Christian today, and don't become one between now and Dec. 10th, it will likely be too late for you; earning you a 1-way ticket to Hell.
