Being a āgood personā is not our ticket into Heaven. We canāt earn it and somehow save ourselves. We make it Home by acknowledging Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, repenting of our sins, and doing His will. God loves us so much He has literally done everything possible and given us every resource via the Church, to fall into Heaven... not into Hell. But with the free will weāve been given, we can either say yes or no to God.
If there is serious sin on your conscience, I urge you to be reconciled to God. Run back to the sacrament of confession where the mercy of Jesus welcomes us unconditionally. This is the sign youāve been looking for. Go. You donāt know the day nor the hour youāll meet the Lord face to face. Thereās nothing more important than to live this life in a way that is pleasing to God and to die in a state of grace. I know this message isnāt fun, but Iām posting it because I love you enough to say it. Iād much rather see you in Heaven than get likes.
āGod in the beginning created human beings and made them subject to their own free choice. If you choose, you can keep the commandments; loyalty is doing the will of God. Set before you are fire and water; to whatever you choose, stretch out your hand. Before everyone are life and death, whichever they choose will be given them.ā + Sirach 15:14-17
