Catholics have called out these words to Jesus since the day He ascended into Heaven! “Thank you for letting me be in The Only Church to Whom YOU gave ‘the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven’!”
~
Question 1: “Why is our soul the most important thing we have?”
Answer: “Our soul lives forever! When we die, our soul goes to God’s Judgment. He will either let our soul into Heaven OR He will send us to hell, where billions of souls suffer forever.”
~
Question 2: “Which souls does Jesus let into Heaven?”
Answer: “Jesus gives us an easy answer to that question in John 15:14: ‘You are My friends if you obey My commands.’”
~
Question 3: “How do we show Jesus that we are among His ‘obedient friends’?”
Answer: “By striving to obey Every Teaching of Jesus, including Mt. 16:18-20! ‘And I say unto you thou are Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.’”
~
Question 4: “Why is it so important to obey That Teaching of Jesus?”
Answer: “The Son of God has The Father’s Power to SPEAK Things into Being! In two sentences, Jesus Christ Spoke One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church Into Being along with ‘the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven’!”
~
Question 5: “What are ‘the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven’ that Jesus gave to His One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church?”
Answer: “They include The Seven Catholic Sacraments: Baptism, Communion, Confirmation, Reconciliation, Marriage, The Last Rites, and Holy Orders. Those Seven Catholic Sacraments are accompanied by Wisdom and Teaching from our priests and Religious who have given their lives to Serving God with their Holy Gifts of Obedience, Poverty, and Chastity.”
~
Question 6: “Why don’t all ‘Christians’ obey That Word of Jesus, be in His Church, and get His ‘keys to The Kingdom of Heaven’ for their souls?”
Answer: “We live in a sea of confusion! We are surrounded by billions of people who share one thought: ‘We know more than Jesus Christ about what is best for us!’ The richer the society, the more confusion there is from those whose lives are centered the ‘unholy vanity’ of getting money from their neighbors.”
~
Question 7: “Is there a cure for that confusion?”
Answer: “if we replace ‘unholy vanity’ with ‘Holy Vanity’, we focus on getting ‘the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven’ for our immortal soul and we realize where Jesus Christ specifically left those ‘keys’!”
