Why Indeed?
I realize that this is classic evangelism with a contemporary twist, but I just couldn’t help wondering if I really want to know the answer.

I won’t get there because of anything
I have done or could do.
Scripture says: “The Lord is my light and
my salvation — whom shall I fear?” Ps 27:1
I simply believe and obey . . . and express
my deep gratitude to Him daily for changing me.
My life is in His hands.
Invalid question
😉 You would probably have to explain your remark to most of the evangelical world
That is a sad truth, isn’t it.
Is it Invalid because we don’t go to Heaven, we stay on earth?
“Why should God let you (man) into Heaven?” He already created this beautiful world, particularly the land (erets), for man to live in and have dominion over. And He had declared everything to be “good” (tov). If it’s good enough for my Father, it’s good enough for me.
What I do with my life and in my lifetime will pretty much determine the outcome, with favour and blessing (or curses and disciplinary actions) from Abba. Be it heaven or hell on earth (not that I believe in the “hell” of the RCC or Christianity), it is largely up to the choices that I make…submit or not, obey or disobey, sickness or health, life or death. I think simply. And I see Scriptures as a Book with a lot of common sense. That’s why it resonates with me even from the very first day that I opened it, which was sometime in January of 2006. YHWH and His word have always made sense to me even from the beginning. Anything that doesn’t, I credit it to my very limited understanding. I put it aside, take it to Him in prayer, and wait…continuing in Kingdom work as I wait, of course.
This is where I’m at right now in my walk before Father. Whether I go to Heaven or not after I physically die is up to Him. He never made such a promise in the Tanakh. I will continue to love, obey, and serve Him even if it turns out that I’m not going to Heaven after this life. Loving and obeying Him makes this life Heaven on earth…His Kingdom has come on earth, as it is in Heaven!
This is where I’m at right now. May be subject to change when Yah’s word shows me otherwise. ?
For me , back in the day oh, there was a series called evangelism explosion,. E. E. From a pastor down in Florida Pastor James Kennedy and this was the leading question. The correct response is according to the material. Salvation is Dead Redemption from God by the way of his son Jesus. The entire presentation of the Gospel it’s based on two questions. They even had a lapel pin. 2?. Which was very provoking to lead people to ask what it meant.
First question is do you know for sure you are going to heaven.?
Second question why would God let you into his heaven?
The series has gone International oh, it is a wonderful program. It is available in summary of course on YouTube.
The entire program is to help one understand Redemption, and your relationship with God Jesus
