Trying to get into Heaven or Trying to be a Christian

I have heard both of these phrases said since I have moved to Oklahoma. What it all comes down to is that trying to get into heaven or trying to be a christian doesn't work. You're in one of two conditions, saved or lost. You're a christian or not a christian. The only way into heaven is through salvation in Jesus Christ. You must be born again to see the kingdom of heaven. Read my posts on how you must be saved, or watch the videos I have linked to this blog. You'll see that there is nothing you have to try. The Lord made it so easy for us to get in, not some great challenge for us so that we can make it in. Jesus did the hardest part of all, bearing the cross for our sin.
