FIRST SUMMARY

These are my first thoughts on what I think the Bible is telling me. I have only read the New Testament. And I'm pretty sure I'm not getting all of the message. First off I think that once you know you are a sinner, believe Jesus died on the cross to forgive your sins, accept God as your Lord and Savior, you are saved. There is nothing you can do, good or bad, after, that will change that. So I was way off when I used to think that you had to be more "Christian like" to go to Heaven. You can be a total ass bag and still go to heaven.

That being said, I think that if you're only goal is to get to Heaven then you can go ahead and live how you want. But by following God's Word you can live a better life while on earth. Also I think if you follow you are building up what I call, brownie points. There are places in the Bible, and of coarse I didn't look them up, where when getting to Heaven you treasures, prizes are burned up. And only some make it thru the fire. I compare it to high school. Ya you can skate thru and pass, but the people who work at it will get the better prize. Better grades, scholarships, jobs. What I havn't figured out is how these brownie points play out in heaven.

That's my take on it. I don't think I'm too far off, but let me know if I am. God bless. I'm gonna go study!
