RT Kendall: Are you going to heaven?

There are two questions I want to ask you.

One: Do you know for sure, if you were to die today, that you would go to heaven? Do you?

Question number two: If you were to stand before God, and you will, and he were to ask you, which he might, "Why should I let you into my heaven? What would you say?

There's only one answer – give the wrong answer and you have to go someplace else, and you don't want to go there – what would you say?

Can I tell you that if it did not come to your mind right then to say "Because Jesus died for me on the cross", I wouldn't want to be in your shoes for anything in the world.

I've got one hope of going to heaven, and by the way I know I'm going because I've put all my eggs in one basket. Jesus died for me, and he died for you too, but the question is: are you trusting him and him alone? That's the way to know if you're going to heaven.
