Kindred,
Have you ever felt like you are living in a dream and "life is but a dream"*?
At any moment you are going to wake and find yourself Home.
It seems strange that one has to die before finding out if you will return there, Home.
But, Home is not a guarantee, not for all and not for many, only a few (according to Jesus Christ).
And if belief in Christ is the only criteria, then many will qualify.
But, belief is not the criteria, but a Way, a pathway that leads to Heaven.
It is not a criteria because belief does not measure character and goodness of the heart, mind and soul.
It does not determine intent, actions good or bad.
Nor does it measure deeds or crimes in sins.
Do not mistake my meaning. Belief is very important.
Belief can put you on the path of salvation, but while you are on the path, the manner in which you walk it determines if you stay on the path and find the way Home.
Your behavior and actions in your journey of life matters.
It shapes your character, determines who you are, your actions and deeds.
If you ever hope to wake up Home, you need to walk the walk in deeds and good character, not just talk the talk.
*A quote from a children's song, Row, Row, Row Your Boat.
It is the belief of this author that there are different pathways to enlightenment and spiritual understanding. The hope is to develop positive connections and relationships.
