I read a quote from Oral Roberts that said, "If you want to gain a better understanding of Jesus Christ, read the gospels and Acts three times in thirty days." So I did, and it changed me. Then I went through the gospels and read all the red letters twice. And it changed me even more. I realized that what I was being told in church was only a fraction of what the Lord truly says.

It was then that I learned that heaven and salvation are not one and the same.

It made me wonder why the church never preaches on Matthew 7:21:

Not everyone who says to Me, "Lord, Lord," shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.

Why is that they don't preach on this passage? I think that is a very important statement from the Lord Jesus. Jesus also tells us, not once but twice,

Many are called but few are chosen. (Matt. 20:16; Matt. 22:14)

This got me thinking, only Christians call Jesus Lord, and many are called to go to church and serve the Lord, but few are chosen. That made me wonder if I would be chosen. Let me ask you this: Are you chosen? Are you promised to go to heaven?

This book is a must read for every Christian.
