[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Christians want all humans to go to heaven, not just themselves.

Christians, many of them, would like to share how all humans can be redeemed and spend eternity with a loving Creator, in a place beyond human suffering. In a place where peace and joy reigns forever.

Heaven is open to all, regardless of wealth or lack of, race, sex, age, etc. All that is required is you accept that Jesus made the sacrifice for you.

God knows we are all sinners, and all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. So we don’t even have to be perfect people to gain eternal life.

Salvation is the goal of Christianity. It’s the end game. Its the big kahuna.

Christians acknowledge life on earth is short compared to the eternity of the afterlife, so spending 60 years living “for yourself” is not a good plan if it takes eternity away.

It’s not about being wealthy, accumulating property, having power here on earth. None of those things will save you or bring you peace. It’s about having true peace worshipping God in a place he has created for us.

Is it wrong to want to be at peace, untouched by human suffering? There is no promise of riches. Just peace.

Many Christians live their lives, before the big “transaction,” as you term it, having a personal relationship with God, learning his word, worshipping in fellowship, and spreading the good news that salvation is open to all. That’s not a terrible way to live.

I think that God knows your heart, and even those that give no thought to God or reject God can be saved at the end, as in the parable that teaches us about the Prodigal Son.

Those people are very precious to God.

“And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.”

John 6:40

Jesus will raise you up to the last day. The last day you are on earth, Jesus will still save you if you accept Him as Lord.

He’s that loving, He wants to save you that much.

God is an awesome God.[/quote]
