So you already know you’re going to Heaven?
Have you heard of the sin of presumption?
Yes. Based on His promise.
14“As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up;
15so that whoever believes will in Him have eternal life.
16“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. 17“For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
18“He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
John 3:14-18 NASB
Have you heard of the sin of presumption?
Only in Roman Catholicism.
Yes, be cause God said so and He cannot lie.
I'm not sure o f my destination because I think I'm so good and deserve it.
I'm sure because I believe Him who said,
John 3:14-18 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
John 5:24 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.
John 6:40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”
John 11:25-26 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
Have you heard of the sin of presumption?
Yes, we have. It's another fabricated sin by the Catholic church to keep its people in the bondage of fear.
After all, if they didn't dangle one's eternal destiny over their heads, where would they get adherents?
No better way to guarantee the fidelity of the *faithful* than to threaten them with eternal damnation if they don't go along with your program.
