According to George Barna and the Barna Research Group, among Americans surveyed in 2009…
…only one-quarter of adults (28%) believe that it is impossible for someone to earn their way into Heaven through good behavior.
The Barna Survey also discovered that…
Not quite half of all born again Christians (47%) strongly reject the notion of earning salvation through their deeds.
This means that…
72% of Americans think it possible to earn one’s way to Heaven.
53% of born again Christians think it could be possible to go to Heaven because of good behavior.
It’s amazing that people who claim to have had a salvation experience with Jesus could be that unknowledgeable about scripture.
- I guess Billy Graham has been absent from the public forum for a little too long without a replacement!
- People don’t realize how Holy God is nor how sinful they are!
Jesus Is The Issue!
Galations 2:16
Titus 3:5
Ephesians 2:8-9
John 1:1-13
John 3:1-21
The New Birth is mandatory to entering God’s Kingdom!
Those who put their trust in Jesus have eternal life!
Those who do not believe in Jesus are judged already!
They now live in judgment, condemnation, under a sentence of death.
The basis of their judgment is that they love darkness rather than light!
They refuse to come to Jesus or truly deal with Him because they are attached to their evil deeds and darkness.
This is THE reason they don’t come to Jesus.
