Cheers man! If I were to die right now, I think I would certainly get the chance to be judged at the gate and not go straight to hell. I would like to think I could make it in but I’m not the one who decides that, I just know that I’m trying my best to be a good person for the eventual day!

Over the years interacting with you on the blockchain and in the splinterlands guild, I can fully agree that you try to be a good person.
I know you as a kind and generous person and it has challenged me at times to be more generous. I consider you an example of a great person.
The interesting thing is that Jesus says that all have fallen short. God is holy and only spotless perfection can stand in His presence. Nobody can get to heaven on their own good behavior. And that’s why Jesus came to die on the cross, thereby in one action restoring the broken relationship between God and humanity.
All who receive that gift from Jesus, are accepted into heaven and eternal life with God. And a whole lot of other good blessings that come along with it.
Thanks man I try for sure! It’s the right thing to do. I am believing more and more the mindset I learned years ago “be the change you want to see” so that we can help foster positive change in the world.
Indeed the sacrifice made by Jesus is an example we can all strive for - to bring others before ourselves in importance.
It is a great way to live life and Jesus says that we reap what we sow. If we sow sparingly, then we reap sparingly, but when we sow richly, then we reap richly.
But what Jesus did was more than just an example. He broke the power of sin and death, so that we can be free. So we are no longer bound in sin and shame.
Everyone can receive forgiveness if they turn to Jesus and receive love and hope and life.
