It has been said that if your selling points of salvation is Heaven or Hell, you have missed the best and most important part of the gospel - Jesus Christ.
Although those H&H, are important points of salvation, for we do have Heaven to gain and Hell to flee. But more specifically, Through the Lord Jesus Christ we have Heaven to gain and Hell to flee. The dying thief rejoice to hear the good Lord say, while He was on the cross in agony, "today you should be with me in paradise". And I say Amen and praise-the-Lord for that statement.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Grace meaning unmerited favor and unconditional love of the Father.
Eph 2;8-9
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Using heaven or hell as selling points for salvation has been used before and rightly so, for eternity is to long to be wrong. But really, our salvation is through the Lord Jesus Christ. For a home may have an air conditioner and heater, but you have to get the home first. And so it is, you must receive Christ First.
Dear friend, for whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Romans 10:9
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation, For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved
God Bless you,
