I was testing the children in my Sunday school class to see if they understood the concept of getting to heaven.
I asked them, "If I sold my house and my car, had a big garage sale and gave all my money to the church, Would that get me into Heaven?"
"NO!" the children answered.
"If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the yard, and kept everything neat and tidy, would that get me into Heaven?"
Again, the answer was, "NO!"
By now I was starting to smile.
Hey, this was fun!
"Well, then, if I was kind to animals and gave candy to all the children, and loved my husband, would that get me into Heaven?"
I asked them again. Again, they all answered, "NO!"
I was just bursting with pride for them. "Well," I continued, "then how can I get into Heaven?"
A five-year-old boy shouted out, "YOU GOTTA BE DEAD."

Well, it is not difficult to go to heaven, all you have to do is to follow the rules God has said to do, and try to live you'r life in the shed of prophet of god, if you'll continue following all these acts you are not so far from heaven, I assure you god will definetly open the door of heaven for you!

You have to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and be baptized. This is in accordance with God's will as set forth in the Holy Bible. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes unto the Father except through me."

Haha... this is precious!
At least they're halfway there by knowing you don't get to heaven by good deeds! Gotta be patient with 5 year olds when explaining to concept of Christ's gift :)
