We buy a lottery ticket. We find that we missed winning a hundred million dollars by one number! Is there anyone in Creation who is unhappier than a loser who comes that close to winning?

We each make the biggest bet of all on our immortal soul. The smarter we are, the more we wonder: “Will my soul get into Heaven?”

Smart people want to increase their chances of winning their way into Heaven! We ask: “What’s the best way for me to get my soul into Heaven?”

All Christians know that Jesus Christ decides who into Heaven. He Who Fulfilled The Prophecies was very clear about whose souls He will let into Heaven!

“You are My friends if you obey My commands.”

It must be true that the most miserable souls in the afterlife are those who were the closest to Heaven. Protestants are “close” to Heaven. They are blessed to know that Jesus Christ is The Savior.

They read The Bible. They know how important it is to be among His obedient “friends” at judgment.

But, what do many Protestants willfully and knowingly decide to do?

They decide to disobey The Only Church-Founding Decree of Jesus Christ!

“And I say unto you thou art 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.”

That one decision keeps them from having “the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven”!

Is there anyone in Creation who is unhappier than a loser who comes that close to winning?

That’s Protestantism!
