Faith is the KEY that opens the door to Heaven.
However, many people confuse the true, saving faith with:
- Mere intellectual acceptance, that is, believing in certain historical
facts. The Bible says that the devil believes in God; therefore
believing in God is not what the Bible calls the faith that saves.
- Mere temporary faith, that is, trusting in God only during
the temporary crises life brings us, such as financial needs,
family problems, or physical needs. Of course these are
important things, and you should trust the Lord with them.
But as you can see, intellectual acceptance
or temporary faith will not save anyone.
