  Paradise For Me

 

Paradise
Paradise

  One reason Jesus came to Earth was to save us from Hell and bring us to Paradise.  Those who repent of their sins can be forgiven through the death penalty Jesus paid on the cross for them.  When one of the thieves on a cross next to Jesus confessed their sins, Jesus said that former thief would be with Jesus that day in Paradise.
  Paradise is mentioned numerous times in the Bible.  Just three of those places include:
Luke 23:43, 2 Corinthians 12:3, and Revelation 2:7.  You will find it mentioned or alluded to in various ways throughout.  Heaven, or “Paradise” as it is sometimes called, is a perfect place where God is in control and there are no issues.
  That is why the question is posed, “Why should God accept you into His perfect Heaven?” The only legitimate answer is; because you’ve sincerely confessed your sins to God, and sincerely asked Jesus to take the death penalty for your sins too.  If you could get to Paradise entirely on your own good works, Jesus would not have had to die on the cross.

  Jesus is the only one who can make you perfect and acceptable for Paradise, because Jesus is perfect.  He’s God’s only Son that was both a perfect human and eternal (through God).  This makes His life and sacrifice for you perfect and eternal, should you confess and accept it.  I found long ago that I could not be perfect.  I confessed my sins to God, and asked forgiveness through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross.  I felt God’s forgiveness.  It’s Paradise for me!
