"If I Really Want to Go to Heaven, I Must..."

GODLINESS!
I MUST LIVE A LIFE OF GODLINESS, A LIFE LIKE JESUS!
"For hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow in his steps" (1 Peter 2:21).

We must never put a period where God has placed a comma. Becoming a NT Christian via the active grace of God coupled with our obedient faith [an obedience of faith, repentance, confession and baptism for the remission of sins] is only the beginning of an abundant life.

After becoming a Christian, we are blessed with the challenge to think like Jesus (Philippians 2:5) and become as much like him as possible. "What would Jesus do?"  "How would Jesus respond?"  "What would Jesus think? What would he say? What would he decide?"

Using his NT as our standard for day to day living, knowing that he will judge us in keeping with the same (John 12:48), we are to use him as our great example and echo the words of Paul: "I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ liveth in me" (Galatians 2:20)!
