This is for Christians btw

So I’ve just been thinking recently. About judgement day. Idk if I will get into heaven. Well no one knows. But I keep hearing different things about how you will get into heaven. Some people say, you have to be saved. Others say since he died on the cross and payed for our sins, as long as you believe in him you will make it to heaven. I love him, but do I love him for him or for his benefits? I feel like I love him, but I really don’t know. I want to have a relationship with him but like is it for me or for him. I have been worried about this for a few days so far. Just panicking sometimes.  All day Im thinking about it. I don’t know what to do. Someone please help if u can.

Hm.. I have a few points..

1.) "Good" people don't go to heaven.

.. it says it in Romans that no one is good, therefore no one can get to heaven.

2.) John 14:6, John 3:16

I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me.

For God so loved the world, he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

.. it's important to clarify that the Greek word translated as "believes" is not actually found in the English language. It doesn't really make sense to use that word, as Satan believes Jesus existed and died and rose again for people.

The word is moreso referring to covenantal commitment; trusting God to do his part, and committing to doing your part.

_____

God knows we aren't perfect. He knows that no one is truly good. God doesn't expect us to be perfect. All he expects is that we try.

People often times focus on not going to hell.. or whether or not they'll get to heaven. The gospel (meaning "Good News") is good news. We no longer live by the old covenant. In the old covenant people were saved by following laws perfectly. God knows that it's impossible. The Good News is good. It's that we no longer have to worry about following a set of laws perfectly. All we have to do is try. It's not a matter of escaping God's judgement.. people have done that to ourselves. All hell is is a life in a world without God. It's described like fire though, because it's real bad. The good news is about accepting God and his love and blessings. God's rules aren't random things that people are to follow or they go to hell. God's rules are for our own benefit, and the benefit of others.

As soon as a person chooses God. They're what we call "baby Christians". They're just starting. When a baby is born, it doesn't know how to love. As it grows older and matures, it learns. It's the same way with Christians. The closer we grow to God, the more we learn to love him.

The point is that you try and you care. If you do that, and trust God, you'll grow! It's not about what stage of the Christian faith you're at.. God loves everyone, including all of his children. He's not a computer with a checklist to see if you meet all the requirements. The Bible says that the way you love God is by loving his people.

Remember, it's Good news. Not something to inflict fear.

..

the fact that you are thinking of this, shows that you care.. following God isn't about a checklist or fear.. it's about trying and experiencing God's blessings as a result.

God's not a genie, he understands that people aren't perfect.. all he wants is that you try, and choose him

I hope this helps :]

Personally in my experience people acted like you have to be this PERFECT being to get into heaven, like if you said a curse word once you're not getting in. (My Sunday School literally said that before) .But I'm pretty sure that God  cares more about your bigger deeds like if you were a kind person and such

Listen judgement day isn’t gonna be him looking upon all of us and checking and saying all of our wrongs that we have done.

LISTEN, he will look to see if you have followed him, loved him, and praised his name. You can yes have done bad things or sinned but if you turned around decided to live your life for him then that’s good. Repent, lay ur sins down, and pray. If you love God and want to follow him then keep doing that. I’m js now reading the Bible and I’m scared too but I try and pray every night and I’m trying to be a better Christian myself

He loves each and every one of us. Only really bad people don’t get into heaven. But if you do a few tiny sins in life, He will forgive you for those and you will get in. Don’t worry, I think about that a lot too

I think this is generally anxiety. You should try doing deep breath and assuring yourself that you are faithful, and believe that he will know that you love him. Dont overthink it :)

He's probably happy that you're reflecting and giving deep thought about it.

the Bible says if u believe in him, and his power, u'll get into heaven

it's ur choice tho, whether u want to have a good relationship with him or not, and it'll benefit both of u guys

we'll always be his children, and he always will love us, no matter what
