To Heaven or To the Hells?
The Lord Jesus Christ stated that those who believed in the God and Him would be accepted in Heaven, so that they should not worry about their afterlife.
14 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. (John 14)
Therefore, believers should just wait for his place in the afterlife to be prepared; they should expect to live forever in Heaven with the Lord Jesus Christ. But, it is a surprise that people of today still argue whether there is the afterlife after death in this world. How badly they have been brainwashed by Satan!
In any religions, the afterlife is promised. People feel assured that they can be saved from the fate of complete extermination of their life.
But then what they should do or what lives they should live?
In reality, people still want to be materially happy regardless of assurance of the existence of the afterlife. They cannot accept poor and miserable life in this world. They want to enjoy the sense of superiority over others. They do not want to be in poor or weak positions against others. And Satan encourages them to get strength by using power of money. So, they believe that they can be materially happy in this world by power of money and still they can be happy spiritually in the afterlife. Finally, the above teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ seems to be meaningless.
Yet, the Lord Jesus Christ also declared that the rich could not be accepted in Heave while the poor could be. This part of His teaching is unique. People usually come to believe a religion in hope that they will be saved from poverty or given good luck in this world. If they understood the meaning of His teaching, they should stop following Him. The Lord Jesus Christ said to be poor in this world so as to be accepted in Heaven. According to the teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ, those who are rich and happy due to power of money in this world cannot be accepted in Heaven but should fall into the hells. So, rich and elite men in this world cannot accept the teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ.
However, there are others who love hatred more than love or who love evil more than good. They love Satan more than the God and the Lord Jesus Christ. They are more evil than those who simply love material happiness in this world over Heaven in the afterlife or the spirit world.
So, ultimately it depends on which you love, the God or Satan. If you love Satan more than the God, the teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ is meaningless. You only try to get money as much as possible in this world, since you do not mind if you go to the hells.
Yet, there have been always poor and unhappy people more than rich and happy people. To the former, the teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ is good news, while to the latter, it is nonsense. Indeed, Satan is brainwashing people that materially rich and happy people in this world can be also rich and happy in the afterlife. But, Satan is a liar. Satan must want to fill sinners in the hells so as to compete against the God.
Anyway, above the issue of life and death, there is the issue of good and evil; above the issue of good and evil, there is the issue of poor and rich. This is the point in the scene where the Lord Jesus Christ encountered Satan after the scene on the Jordan River in the Gospels.
So, where are you going? To the hells with much money or to Heaven with the promise of the Lord Jesus Christ?
Luke 1, King James Version
28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
