- Who is Jesus?
- When will Jesus come again?
- Are people married in Heaven?
- Is Jesus the only way to
Heaven?
- If people never hear about
Jesus will they still be lost?
Is Jesus just an ordinary man, or
is he, as some people try to teach, an angel, or perhaps is He the
visible manifestation of God? First let me say that every question
that might be asked can only be answered by
what the Bible has to say about it.
So with that being true first of all lets look at an Old Testament
prophecy concerning His birth. Isaiah 9:7 tells us this,
For unto us a child
is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall
be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful,
Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The
Prince of Peace.
The answer to the
question is Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is the second
person of the Trinity. He is Almighty God who was manifested in
the flesh. John 3:16 says, For God so loved the world, that he
gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have everlasting life. In Revelations
1:8 we read what Jesus says about who He is, I am Alpha and
Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and
which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

Only God the Father knows the
actual day and hour when the Lord well return. Matt. 24:36
But of that day and
hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father
only.
However we are told that though we may not be able to set a date
when the Lord will return we can know that His coming is near. 1
Thessalonians 5:6 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that
that day should overtake you as a thief. In Matthew 24 Jesus
gives us signs to watch for when the end is getting near. The
signs that He talked about are as never before taking place all
around the world. Every major reputable Bible scholar is saying
the same thing , Jesus is coming soon, and more than likely He
will come before this generation is over.

Mark 12:25 For
when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are
given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.
This one verse answers fully the question and the answer is No we
will not be married to one another in heaven. Those who are saved
are apart of the bride of Christ and in heaven the bride of Christ
is married to Christ. Revelations 19:9 And he saith unto me,
Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage
supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true
sayings of God. Revelations 21:9, And there came unto me
one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the
seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I
will show thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.

Once again the
scriptures are clear that there is only one way any person can be
saved and go to heaven. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am
the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the
Father, but by me. In Acts 4:12 Neither is there
salvation in any other: for there is none other name
under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. John
10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be
saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. These are
just three of the verses that tell us that the only way to be
saved and go to heaven is Jesus Christ. Acts 2:21
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name
of the Lord shall be saved..
If you belonged to
every religious group in the world and followed every thing they
said about how to be saved, if you died without accepting Jesus
Christ as you Lord and Savior you would not go to heaven. Jesus
Christ is the only way because only Jesus died as the perfect
sinless Son of God to pay for the sins of those who put their
faith in Him.

Romans 3:23 For
all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot
enter into the kingdom of God. Romans 10:13 For
whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
These verses reveal that all are sinners and only by being
born again can anyone be saved. That’s why God has commanded every
believer to be a witness and to share their faith so that all can
hear and have a chance to believe the gospel. Mark 16:15 And
he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel
to every creature. If people who never heard about Jesus would
be saved then it would be best not to go and preach, but Jesus
said go and preach because the only way to be saved is to hear the
gospel, believe it and be saved. Romans 10:14-15, How then
shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how
shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how
shall they hear without a preacher?
And how shall they
preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are
the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad
tidings of good things!
