ARE ALL “GOOD”
PEOPLE GOING
TO HEAVEN?
Depends On What
One Means By
“Good”!
There Is A Tendency To Believe If A
Person Is Generally Good, Or Does
Enough Good Things For Others During His Life Time, They Will Earn A
Place In Heaven. In 2007 The Public
Decided On The Matter: 54% Agreed,
38% Disagreed. This Represents
Little Change Since 2002 When 55%
Agreed and 38% Disagreed; 1996
When 54% Agreed And 38% Disagreed; Or 1993, When 56% Agreed
With This Notion. (Barna Research Poll)
ARE ALL “GOOD” PEOPLE
GOING TO HEAVEN?
What About The “Good”
Buddhist, Hindu Or Moslem?
(cf. John 3:16; Hebrews 1:1-2)
What About The “Good”
Atheist, Agnostic Or Skeptic?
(cf. Genesis 1:1; John 1:1-3)
Examples Of “Good” Men
Rich, Young Morally Upright
Ruler (Mat. But Covetous
19:16-20)
(Mat.19:21-26)
Cornelius
Truly Devout But
(Acts 10:1-4) Lost (Acts 11:13-14)
Saul (Paul)
(Acts 23:1)
Sincere But In Sin
(Acts 8; 1 Tim.1:15)
Examples Teach That:
God Defines What Is, Or Who Is,
“Good” Not Man (3 John 11; Titus
3:8; Ephesians 2:10; Col.1:10)
Salvation Is Not Attainable Apart
From Christ (Jn.14:6; Acts4:8-12)
Being “Good” Doesn’t Forgive A
Person’s Sins, Rather Requires
Obedience To The Gospel (Rom.
3:23; 6:23; 1:16-17; 10:11-16)
Heaven Is A
Prepared Place For
A Prepared People!
Are You Prepared?
