1 of the beliefs I have that separates me from most Christians, is that Jesus death and Resurrection will allow entry for every human being that has existed on Earth into Heaven. But I don’t just believe this, I have proof! Our friend Thomas the Disciple shows us that despite our lack of faith, Jesus will not abandon us.

JOHN ²⁴ However, Thomas (one of the twelve, who was called the Twin) wasn’t with them when Jesus came. ²⁵ So when the other disciples told him that they had seen the Lord, he said:
‘I won’t believe it unless I see the print of the nails in his hands and stick my finger in them, and stick my hand into his side!’

²⁶ Well, eight days later, his disciples were gathered inside… and this time Thomas was with them. Then Jesus came again and stood in their midst (though the doors were locked) and he said:
‘May you have peace.’

²⁷ Then he said to Thomas:
‘Now, put your finger here… and look at my hands, then take your hand and stick it into my side… stop doubting and start believing!’

²⁸ Well at that, Thomas said:
‘My Lord and my God!’

²⁹ And Jesus said:
‘Do you believe because you’ve seen me? It’s those who haven’t seen and still believe that are blest.’

And only the blest will avoid going through Hell on our way to Paradise. We prove our belief with our actions and our works. If at the end of our life Jesus sees more sin than good works, did we really believe? If we reacted in anger constantly to struggles in our lives, do we really believe God has a plan for us that we willingly accept. I struggle with this very thing daily. Did our parents allow us to do the things they wanted us to do, reacting to them how we do towards God? Someone that truly believes will never be perfect but will have more good works/actions than sin. If we have to, the consequences of the sin on our soul is paid for by us in Hell. Accepting Jesus as your Messiah and Saviour gets you into Heaven, belief in Jesus keeps your path from going through Hell.

You see, if it was true that only those who had accepted Jesus as their Messiah and Saviour in their lifetime went to Heaven and everyone else went to Hell, then Thomas would would be everyone else. Before Jesus dies , He told the Disciples what would happen with his death and Resurrection 3 days later and their crucial role in spreading the news to the world. But when it actually happened what did Thomas do, immediately declined to do what Jesus asked and demanded physical proof from Jesus before he would preach Jesus story to the world. What bigger sin could there be than that!?

One of the men blessed with being alive during the time of Jesus and given the crucial task of spreading the word of Jesus death and Resurrection to the world, refuses to do so. Not unless Jesus lets Thomas physically touch his wounds lol unbelievable but I’m sure Thomas would be all of us if we were there. But once Thomas touches Jesus wounds, Thomas can no longer have faith bc he has seen and physically touched it as fact. Faith means believing without seeing, only through accepting Jesus can we get to Heaven and Thomas did not have faith so he should be lost. But Thomas wasn’t lost, Jesus did not abandon him. Jesus still gave Thomas another opportunity to go out and preach Jesus story to the world. And this story of Thomas is how I know Jesus will leave no soul behind in Hell.

Nowhere does it say that we won’t get the same opportunity Thomas got. If we believe in Jesus during our physical life on Earth then we are blest and will avoid Hell on our journey to paradise. If we don’t then we will get the same opportunity that Thomas got when we die and our consciousness transfers back to our soul from our body, and then you will know and accept that Jesus is the Messiah and Saviour and give him Thanks and Praise. With that strength, you will be able to endure your journey through Hell and on the other side waits paradise. The extent of your journey through Hell depends on the consequences of sin you accumulated in your life and how much left you have to accept. Without Jesus there was no ticket into Heaven, Humans had been too sinful that we were all damned to Hell for eternity but we do have a Messiah that saved all of us.

It would not be a thing worth doing if even 1 soul was left behind. But that doesn’t mean there should not be a cost for the sin we choose to engage in with our free will. Those of us that know better and still choose to sin will see a greater punishment than those that did not know better or had no chance to know God. It is the least we deserve given all the evil we have perpetrated in this world and how evil we can be as humans. The gifts of Heaven and a lifetime of eternity in Paradise are un-payable debts, there is nothing we could ever do or say to balance the price Jesus paid for our ticket into Heaven.

But we can always try to justify that sacrifice by being the best version of ourselves and helping to build the best version of this world. By accepting Jesus as our Messiah and Saviour and giving him Thanks and Praise. That way we can become blest and avoid Hell entirely and satan will have no new recruits for his army. Not that it matters, satan could have every soul that has ever been on Earth in his army and satan would still lose on that final day. God always wins, Good always overcomes.

Some scoff at all this saying that why try and be Good if everyone just gets into Heaven no matter what. But they can only scoff at this bc they have not even a taste of what Hell will be like and won’t believe it’s real until it is. Think about the worst emotions you have ever felt; sadness, terror, heart break, fear, anxiety, depression, worry, etc… well these will all be intensified to the maximum level and only a small preview of the nightmare you can’t wake up from that is Hell. satan unleashed unspeakable evils we cannot even fathom that can’t be controlled and in Hell they reign with chaos and terror. People that must journey to Heaven through Hell have to endure there until Jesus ends it all in the final battle. The rest of us that are blest will wait somewhere else until the final battle as all of us will inherit the Kingdom of God together at the same time.

JOHN 14 ⁶ And Jesus told him:
‘I am the way, the truth, and the life; so, no one can come to the Father unless [he comes] through me.

1 CORINTHIANS ⁵⁷ But, thanks to God that EACH OF US will see victory through our Lord Jesus the Anointed One!

————————————–

I am not saying anything that Jesus did not say himself. Thomas met Jesus without his faith intact and yet Jesus still allowed Thomas to accept Jesus as his Messiah and Saviour and come to the Father. So those of us that die having accepted Jesus as their Messiah and Saviour and believed through our actions and works in life will avoid Hell. Those that did not will see Jesus stand before them and allow them to bear physical witness to the Messiah and Saviour so they can come to the Father and join us in Paradise.

Hope everyone had a blessed day filled with Fellowship and Faith with your friends and family. Hell is something we we want everyone to avoid which is why it’s so important we preach the Word and continue to be living examples of it as best we can. 2 great facts of Christianity; Nobody comes to the Father but through Jesus and ALL OF US were saved on that Glorious day thousands of years ago. Hallelujah!
