Actually refraining from Evil Deeds out of fear of punishment doesn’t help you in the next life. It is your desires and intent that matter. If you desire to murder someone but don’t out of fear of going to jail or being executed, you are still a murderer at heart. Just like lusting after other women other than your wife makes you an adulterer at heart. You will be accountable for that in the next life.

Death strips away the false fronts we carry around with us in life, and leaves only the bare naked soul in all its glory and or depravity of heart.

I remember when this subject was breached in the Carter years. I decided the next time they passed around the collection plate, I would only THINK about putting something in. Yeah, I’m going to hell. LOL

John 14:6
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

Salvation and eternal life are found only through repentance and trusting in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and His sacrifice on the cross for our sins.
