Heaven Is the Abode of the Holy

The Race of Faith and the Ultimate Goal

Salvation Is Free; Heaven Is Conditional on Obedience
Salvation is free and open to all, but entering heaven is conditional on obedience. Any sinner who repents and turns to Jesus will be accepted by Grace through faith; salvation is free to all. But entering heaven is for those who continue in the faith…

Jesus Is Coming Soon, and Only a Few Shall Be Saved!
Jesus said the way to heaven is narrow and few will make it. It is not a joke! Hell is real and is eternal. If you go to hell, you will regret it forever. It is torment for all eternity without end, sharing the same…

Heaven is for Overcomers, not Cowards
Heaven is a place for overcomers, valiant soldiers, and brave souls who dared despise this world and choose God almighty with all their hearts, souls, and minds. Jesus boldly declared that the cowardly would have their part in the lake of fire (Revelation 21:8). Those…
