You Have to Desire Change

This is only for people who believe the Bible to be God's word.

Getting to heaven isn't as easy as some people may think—getting to heaven will be contingent on a person's desire to change. Don't expect change if a person has the attitude of "this is me, what you see is what you get!" or "I'll live my life the way I want to!" A person who doesn't change will not make it to heaven because the only people who will be in heaven are those who have repented, which means they have changed. That is why the Bible calls upon men to repent and have a change of heart because one cannot get to heaven by remaining as he is—one must change (Luke 13:3; Acts 2:38; Acts 17:30; Luke 24:47; 2 Corinthians 7:10; Matthew 7:21; Revelation 22:14).

Maybe this article will cause you to reflect on what you need to do to change your life so that you can go to heaven. At the same time I would like you to read what Jesus said about change in Matt. 10:37–39. He teaches that one must change in order to be saved, but those changes are for your good. In order to get to heaven, one may have to change the religion he grew up in, change the pleasures he may love, change the friends he may have, etc. But if one wants to go to heaven, he will do these things because he values his soul above anything this old world might offer (1 John 2:15).
