The other line

What's wrong with this picture?

Heaven

-------------------------------------

 

Hell

 

 

Does it seem to you as if there is a line separating heaven from hell?  Do you picture that line as being the distinguishing line that determines who goes to heaven and who goes to hell?  Or do you perhaps picture that line as "the crossing line".....as in if my particular sin crosses that line, I'm doomed?  So here are some other questions to ponder about that picture.

• who determines what sin places one on either the blue side or the red side of the line?
• indeed, since we are all sinners, would not that necessarily mean that we would all be on the red side of the line?
• and if that is the case, why the line at all.....no one would be on the blue side?

Here is a more accurate offering of the above picture:

Heaven

 

Hell

 

Simply......there is no line.  None at all.  God took care of that line when He sent Jesus to the cross to die for our sins.  The blood of Christ erased that line because we are all sinners, and we will be until that time when we die.   But we have a choice, one only we ourselves can make, and it is that choice that will determine whether or not we are in the blue or in the red.  And that choice is simply do we accept the fact, and believe it, that Christ died for our sins, and that by doing so He has heaped mounds and mounds of Grace upon his believers so that we can all have full Redemption.   And there is no line.....only Grace.  And all because of God's great love for us all, each and every one of us a sinner.
