A wise man, asked such a brilliant question this morning: How did Jesus volunteer himself as Savior of the world and to pay for our sins?
If anyone knows what heaven and hell is like, it is God the Father and Jesus. When man sinned, that seperated man from God Almighty, because God will not have the evil of sin in His House/ presence. Man's sins, then, left him spiritually and physically seperated from God. If sin could enter heaven, it would not be heaven, nor Holy.
Sins do carry consequences in the spiritual world and have to be paid for. When mankind cut off his own communication with God, that's when God provided a Plan of Salvation, so his/her sins wouldn't send them to hell. In that plan of salvation, God knew a mediator would be needed between Him and mankind, since man completely cut off his communication and relationship with God the Father. IN that plan, Father God appointed and approved Jesus to be Savior of the world for the reason that Jesus, His Son, was the only one worthy enough to be Savior of the world, since He was pure and without sin.
We cannot save ourselves from sin's condemnation, because we cannot come to God the Father with our sin on us, so we then had to depend on our Mediator between God and man, that being Jesus. As we come to Jesus repenting of our sins and ask for forgiveness, He goes directly to His Father on our behalf, letting Him know that the person He gives by name, wishes to have salvation, and is asking God the Father to forgive them.
God promises to forgive us, and does so. Not because of anything we have done, because God said we cannot work for our salvation, so that means that God forgives us only on the basis of the works that Jesus did on the cross, in the shedding of His blood to pay for our sins. God hears our plea for forgiveness from Jesus, forgives us, and remembers those sins no more. We are restored once again, to fellowship with our great God. To a brand-new life in Christ! Salvation is a gift of God and when we are saved, we also inherit the kingdom of God for eternity.
If anyone misses Heaven, it will be because they refuse to allow Jesus to rescue them from the consequences that sin placed on mankind. ANY who accept God's Plan of Salvation, shall be saved. It is God's promise. But not all want Jesus or for Him to save them, and so they miss heaven. Man cannot drag his sins into a Holy Heaven, or it would not BE heaven, and that's why we need to follow God's Plan of Salvation and have our sins forgiven, so we can be ready for heaven in all its glory and perfection.
Thank you, God, for providing us with your Plan of Salvation, so that we could be Heirs of Heaven. And my sincere, deepest thanks and gratitude to you, Jesus, for your great, unconditional love, and for saving us by your selfless work of salvation. You not only said you love us...you proved it! For that I shall always be grateful.

@BritishFailedAesthetic CRUCI -FICTION JESUS WAS NOT CRUCIFIED NEVER DIED ON A CROSS IT WAS A FICTION after the deciples flee far from jesus and they heard that jesus was crucified and dead.They gather together and started to talk about what they here not see.And while they were talking Jesus comes towards them....They were so frightened that jesus could not come closer to them. The question is ,why they were frightened? Because they tought he had escaped from the dead world and he is the spirit of death.....since they couldnt belive him that he is not spirit he said do you have something to eat and dring...So he ate and drink to prove them that he was not dead.... Jesus was not crucified as the the word implies its cruci fiction.He prove that he is in blood and flesh and that he never died.His God heard his prayer and took him alife.The one they crucified was the Juda .God gave juda the face of jesus and the faracies took juda thinking he was jesus.Since Gave juda the face of jesus ,juda was made unable to talk.So when he was asked if he claim that he is God he never spoke becouse he was juda the traitor....They think that they crusifyied jesus but never rather God took jesus to the heavens and juda was crucified.That is why if you read the end of juda in the bible there is different storry.Contradicting storry.They never kill him with certainityJesus prayed had been saved by God from thier torment like he save Abraham from fire.
@BritishFailedAesthetic Jesus prayed a lot to his God and God saved him from thier torment.He never died if he died he could be changed in to spirit.but not.....rather just before he was taken to God he ate and drin to prove to the deciples that he was in flesh and bone.God decieve them they think they killed yet he saved jesus.
@LadyGrace While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.”
37 They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost. 38 He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? 39 Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”
40 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet. 41 And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43 and he took it and ate it in their presence.
If Jesus died he would have been turned in to ghost or a spirit.But he proves that he never dies and not turned in to ghost so he gave them his hand to confirm he is flesh.yet they dont belive him so ate and drink so that he prove them that he is not ghost never died...
