This I Believe–Joey

Posted by jefferson8 on March 4th, 2008

I believe in life in Heaven or Hell after death because if I didn’t I would have no hope in life. I go to church and I have all my life and it has just been a fact to me that when you die life isn’t over you go to heaven. I never even thought about it as a kid. I just knew if you believe in God and God coming to earth in human form as baby Jesus and Jesus died for our sin and was resurrected. When I got baptized I accepted God and my belief of going to heaven for myself and continue believing this. When my grandpa died I was really upset and kind of scared but I read John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son and who ever shall believe in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” The part about the eternal life is what comforted me I knew he believed so he was in heaven looking down. Heaven isn’t the only place you could go when you die there is hell. When a non believer (believer of God coming to earth in human form as baby Jesus and Jesus died for our sin and was resurrected) dies they don’t go to heaven they go to hell. Matthew 13:42: “And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”  This belief has made my life less worrisome. My list of fears is not very big from this belief. I can go and do something dangerous and know that if I die Ii will go to heaven.   The hell part of my belief is scary. Not really scary for me but for the knowledge that a lot of people are going to end up in hell. Heaven and Hell are very real. This is what I believe.
