Why is sola fide important?

I’m hoping for salvation for you FRiend.

We all are, but it appears to me, that some people don't want to go to Heaven. They seem to be more at home, in that other place, where a snow ball won't survive. I don't know why, but the vast majority of the world's population, will not choose Heaven. It's weird. I believe TC doesn't think people choose where they spend eternity, but they either choose to accept God's provision for sin, or they don't.
Maybe many of them belong to spurious, false religions, that they think will save them. I have news for them. That dog don't hunt. 👎🇵🇭

Those have swallowed the line that God is good and he is merciful; they rationalize, 'I'm not that bad and I have done some good things in my life so God will see those and my intentions and be merciful to me.' Such folks have been manipulated to not believe the Bible is God's message to us, and that the Truths in the Bible concerning God's Judgment have been altered by men in translation, etc.

But I will take issue with one point you offered: "... the vast majority of the world's population, will not choose Heaven. It's weird." As Reality sets in after the Rapture, it will be only a smaller syubborn remnant surviving the Great Tribulation who will reject God's Grace; the Revelation of John says a number so great no man could number it will show up in Heaven for the marriage feast out of the Tribulation. As we've discussed before, many of them will be beheaded during the Great Tribulation. we pray that men everywhere will take these issues seriously, for the time is shorter than most would like to believe!

Well, I hope they see the light, as millions suddenly disappear. Maybe it is then, that the power of Islam will be broken. I already know a few ex Muslims. I would love to see millions of ex Muslims, and more than a few from that other cult too. 😊
