The Bible gives us full information we need so that we will serve Jehovah God the Almighty in the right way and get everlasting life. But just learning Jehovah God and Jesus Christ is not enough. We could have lots of knowledge about them and their teachings, and yet not gain everlasting life. Do you know what else is needed?
We also need to live in harmony with the things we learn. Do you remember Judas Iscariot? He was one of the 12 apostles. But what happened to him? He became selfish and he betrayed Jesus to his enemies for 30 pieces of silver. So Judas will not receive everlasting life.
But there are many good people who always served Jehovah faithfully. We want to be like them, don't we? But the person we all want to follow is Jesus Christ. He is a good example for us. Would you welcome more informations?

Suppose Judas repented and ask for forgiveness are you saying that they would not let him in. If he is refused entry, please explain why a murderer is allowed entry after repenting and born again.

Adam lived on for a hundred and thirty years. When Adam and Eve were in paradise they were command by God "from every tree of the garden you may eat in satisfaction but as for the tree of knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it,for in day you eat from it you will positively die." (Gen.2: 16,17) Is'nt it wonderful that they can eat from every tree w/ satisfaction except for only one tree? So, now what happened? they were put out of the beautiful garden of Eden. They had to work hard for their food. Instead of beautiful fruit trees, they saw lots of thorns and thistles grow around them and worst than that, Adam and Eve started to die.
The children of Adam And Eve were all born after God put their parents out of the garden of Eden. This means that the children would also have to grow old and die. If only they obeyed God, life would have been happy for them and their children. They could all have lived forever in happiness on earth. No one would have had to grow old, get sick and die. It's then the result of imperfection.

Amen! The Bible says that Jesus is the way, the truth, the life and only through Him is there eternal life. Kindness is only one of the by-products of having a relationship with Him. That's what I believe!

Your have given a very spiritual sermon here Mother_Earth-we give very sperficial understanding of the Bible to such gross points as to almost carry out what is called selective and convenience driven interpretation of the bible-this is unhristian, it simply ampliies the kind of Iscariotian mentally of human corruption-betrayal -and greed for money. I wish we all emulated the Life and aspirations of our Lord Jesus, the bible would make a truely lasting impresson on us!

In Addition, 2 Timothy 3:16,17 says " All scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching , for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work."
Reading everyday the Bible will help us to know more of God and follow His Will. Thanks for the response. Goodnight

But if Judas did not betray Jesus, how would he die and save the world from sins, and give everybody everlasting life? Judas' part in the cosmic drama of saving the world is vital here. So, I don't think he 'will not receive everlasting life." On the contrary, since he helped Jesus die and save the world from sins, he will enjoy a great place in heaven.
Cheers and happy mylotting
