How to get into heaven ???

    I was testing the children


    in my Sunday school class


    to see if they understood the concept
    of getting to heaven.


    I asked them, 'If I sold my house and my car,


    had a big garage sale


    and gave all my money

    to the church,

    Would that get me into Heaven?'



    'NO!' the children answered.


    'If I cleaned the church every day,


    mowed the yard,

    and kept everything neat and tidy,
    would that get me into Heaven?'



    Again, the answer was, 'NO!'


    By now I was starting to smile.


    Hey, this was fun!


    'Well, then, if I was kind to animals


    and gave candy


    to all the children,



    and loved my husband,


    would that get me into Heaven?'


    I asked them again.
    Again, they all answered, 'NO!'


    I was just bursting with pride for them.
    'Well,' I continued, 'then how can I get into Heaven?'

    A five-year-old boy shouted out,


    'YOU GOTTA BE DEAD.'

    Just don't make evil, one can get into heaven.
    Once you make evil, you break the laws of big G then you and your site will go to hell. Kidding.

    Haha, smart kid. On serious terms, if you are that strong in your faith, then you should just follow a good life without causing unnecessary pain to others, that how I see it ;P.

    (Mt 18:1-5.10.12-14): At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked him, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?. Then Jesus called a little child, set the child in the midst of the disciples, and said, I assure you that unless you change and become like little children, you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever becomes lowly like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven, and whoever receives such a child in my name receives me. See that you do not despise any of these little ones, for I tell you: their angels in heaven continually see the face of my heavenly Father.

    I think heaven is within us. The problem is that is
    so close to us that we look for it so far away.

    Look within you, you will find it. You can never find it if you don't
    look in the right place(within you)
