The Creation Program was written and downloaded so that each of us free-will programs would be forced to choose to be sheep or goat.
Which of us will get to Heaven? The Good Friday Readings help us understand:
1. Jesus did not come to save everyone. God had Isaiah announce, a thousand years before Christ would come, (Isaiah 53: 12): “. . . while He was bearing the faults of many. . .” He did not “bear the faults” of all, but only of “many”. He wanted all to strive to believe, obey, and be saved, but He could/would/should only forgive those who had enough sense to ask forgiveness.
2. Psalm 32: 23-24 tells us who will and won’t be saved: “. . .Yahweh, protector of the faithful, will repay the arrogant with interest. Be strong, let your heart be bold, all you who hope in Yahweh!” The humble and obedient are also called to be strong and courageous. We may reasonably infer that we need courage and consistency to be numbered among the saved.
3. John 18:37 lets us know that “. . . all who are on the side of truth listen to My Voice.” Those who listen, of course, obey.
4. All but a few governments have hated The Catholic Church, The Only Church Jesus Founded. Their hatred of Jesus and His truth prompts those in evil governments of every age to say: (John 19:16) “We have no king but Caesar.”Such souls are not only “lost”, but also, their “arrogance is repaid with interest.”
Keeping these four “separators” in mind can set us on the road to eternal joy.
The Sacraments of The Catholic Church (Baptism, Confession, Confirmation, Confirmation, Marriage, Holy Orders, and the Last Rites) may lead us to Heaven. That, of course, is why The Only Church He Founded was put in motion.
Return His Love with belief and obedience.
It is Good Friday. The Readings provided by The Only Church He Founded say: “Be Catholic!”
