If you died right now, would you spend eternity in Heaven? If not then you would spend eternity in Hell
This is a yes or no question. In my mind, there is no gray area, it's simply yes or no. There are those who believe and those who don't. There are those who have faith, and those who don't. I'm not here to judge others and I'm not trying to bash anyone over the head, but I do feel lead to make this post. Of all the questions in the world, that's really the only one that matters.
John 14:6 King James Version (KJV)
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Simply believing in God isn't good enough. After all the bible tells us in the 2nd Chapter of James, verse 19: Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. KJV
If believing in God was enough then obviously demons and devils would also go to Heaven.
You've got to have a real relationship with Jesus Christ. If you don't have one, my prayer is that you will find it.
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

I can read this and know that I would instantly be with my God in heaven. There is peace in knowing this but then there is an unrest in knowing that most don't have that knowledge and peace. You can know for sure.

I may not show it all the time, but I am saved by the grace of god, and without a doubt I know when my times come I will see them pearly gates.. I ask for strength and forgiveness every day, and pray to do better than what I do..

Matthew 7:13-14New International Version (NIV)
The Narrow and Wide Gates 13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
Over 70% of Americans claim to be Christians. God says few will find eternal life. Here is what he says about those who call themselves Christians or believe they are good people. I understand he is speaking about teachers and preachers in this verse but it applies to any that claim Christ but haven't truly submitted their life to him.
Matthew 7:22-23English Standard Version (ESV)
22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
Here is how you know you are saved. Your life and thoughts will be consumed with God and your actions will reflect it. If there is no evidence there is no salvation. Here is what the bible says on the issue.
James 2:14-26New King James Version (NKJV)
Faith Without Works Is Dead 14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. 18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your[a] works, and I will show you my faith by my[b] works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?[c] 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”[d] And he was called the friend of God. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. 25 Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
The non Christian that knows he doesn't believe isn't in nearly as bad a shape, in my opinion, as the person who thinks he is a Christian but is lost. The non Christian might one day see a need for Christ but the latter thinks he already has Him just because he believes there is a Christ. I am not judging anyone but am just warning because for many years I was the person I'm warning about. Ask Him to reveal your heart and call you to Him.
I usually don't go into these long post but Fur touched on a subject I've thought a lot about lately and these scriptures speak right to the heart of it.

Good post Bill and for the record, I was one of those people like you were for the majority of my life, but that all changed a few years back. I wish I could go back and change my life before Christ, but I finally came to the realization that I got saved when God meant for me to get saved and I (and you) have a testimony that can reach others who didn't get saved at a young age.
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

I deserve hell, but I'll be Heaven bound when my name is called. I put my faith in Jesus quite a while ago. I'm blessed and highly favored, and don't deserve a bit of it.
Jesus... I hope you know Him personally like I do.
