so I'm readin this book called velvet Elvis, which i have talked about before, and this one paragraph got me thinkin. it said... " heaven is full of forgiven people. hell is full of forgiven people. heaven is full of people God loves, whom Jesus died for. hell is full of forgiven people God loves, whom Jesus died for." so how are we different? the difference is how we choose to live!how do you show the world Gods love and how you are different?

Hi Ashley, Just been reading your blog. Your answer to the question "so how are we different?" may not be quite accurate. You said the answer is "how we choose to live our life." That sounds like salvation by works, not faith. The answer to how we are differnet is how we respond to Jesus and His sacrifice.

Ephesians 2:8
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

John 3:36
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

Heaven is full of people who have realized that they can't save themselves, only Jesus can do that. Hell is full of people who want to save themselves their own way and will not accept the forgivness they have been given.
Love you Ashley. We'll talk sometime.
