Jesus said, "only those who do the will of my father will enter the kingdom of heaven" (Matt. 7:21). Will you answer the calling?

Do you know that every waking moment of your life, you are being tested? Every decision you make will determine whether or not you will make into heaven. There are some who believe everyone will go to heaven- absolutely false. The truth is: just as hell is reserved for those who do evil things, heaven is reserved for those who do good. Also, it's not about the magnitude of the act. Jesus said in Matt. 10:42 -

"If anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward.”

Think about what you can do for a child or a homeless person, or even the elderly. Christmas is coming up and I'm sure there are some less fortunate children out there you can do something nice for. If you have the financial means, please do what you can to help someone out. Christ commanded us to be charitable (Matt. 19:21).

@CorvusBlackthorne Who killed those children? Was it God or was it Elisha?
@RocktheHouse God sent the bears, according to the Bible.
@CorvusBlackthorne That's not how I read it:

2 Kings 2:24 Then he turned around, looked at them, and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. Suddenly two female bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys.…

It wasn't God who cursed the boys. It was Elisha.
@RocktheHouse He cursed them in the name of your god, Yahweh. You cannot imagine God would allow the curse to succeed if he did not approve.
