The most important question you will ask yourself in life is, am I good enough to go to Heaven? Most of us when asked this question would say that we think that we are good people and would go to heaven. And we compare ourselves with others and say things like, at Least I haven’t done what so and so did, or I haven’t robbed any banks or killed anyone so I think I am good enough and God will let me into heaven.

When we do this we overlook one important fact and that is when we stand before God He is going to judge us for the things we have done weather it be in thought, word, action or inaction, God will not judge us by comparing us with others He will judge according to His Laws or commandments. So the best way to find out if you are good enough to go to heaven is to see if you have kept the Commandments, So, let's go through them and see how you do, and as you read through them listen to the voice of your conscience, it will let you know how well you have done:

1. "You shall have no other gods before Me."

Is God first in your life? Do you love God above all else?

If there is anything in your life that you place before God then you have broken this commandment. The sentence for breaking this Commandment is death.

2. "You shall not make for yourself any graven image."

You may be saying I have never done that, but have you ever said something like my god is a god of love and would never send anyone to Hell, or perhaps you have said things like my god understands me and knows my heart and I have a special relationship with God and He won’t send me to hell.

My friend if you have ever said anything like that then you have created a graven image at least in your heart and mind, you have created a god to suit yourself and that is idolatry and idolater’s will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

Gal 5:20-21 ASV

(20)  idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, parties,

(21)  envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of which I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that they who practice such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

3. "You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain."

Have you ever been angry or even during conversation used the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, in place of a curse word or just used it as a casual way of expressing yourself, then you are guilty of breaking this commandment, it is called blasphemy and no blasphemer will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

Exo 20:7  Thou shalt not take the name of Jehovah thy God in vain; for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

4. "Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it holy."

Have you kept the Sabbath Day? Is there one day out seven that you have set aside to worship and honor the Lord, I think we all have broken this one at one time or another and if we have broken the law once then we are considered law breakers and stand guilty before God.

5. "Honor your father and your mother."

Have you always respected your parents, and never talked back or argued with them? Even when you were a child? Time does not forgive sin.

6. "You shall not murder."

Most of us will say I never murdered anyone, but let me ask you , have you ever hated anyone? If the answer is yes then God considers this the same as murder. God is going to judge us for our actions, thoughts, attitudes and the intentions of our hearts. Jesus said:

1Jn 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

Do you believe that murders should be allowed into Heaven?

7. "You shall not commit adultery."

Some would say that they have never committed adultery, they love there wives or that they were not married therefore that does not apply to them but the scriptures says to look with lust is the same as adultery.

Mat 5:28  but I say unto you, that every one that looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Have you ever looked with lust or sexual desire at the opposite sex or perhaps at the same sex? Once again I believe it is safe o say that if you are human then you have broken this at one time or another, the penalty for breaking this commandment as with all the others is death or eternal punishment in hell.

8. "You shall not steal."

Have you ever taken something that belonged to someone else (irrespective of its value)? Then you are a thief—you cannot enter God's Kingdom.

9. "You shall not bear false witness."

Ever told a lie? Even a so called white lie, what does that make you? If I told a lie what would you call me? A liar, all liars will have there part in the Lake of Fire

10. "You shall not covet."

That means we shouldn't desire anything that belongs to another person. The covetous will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

Who of us can say we are not guilty of breaking these Commandments? All of us have sinned, and just as with civil law, you don't have to break ten laws to be a lawbreaker, so the Bible warns, "For whoever shall keep the whole Law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all."

When we compare ourselves to man's standard we look pretty clean, but when we compare ourselves to the pure snow-white righteousness of God's standard—His Law, we can see ourselves in truth, that we are unclean in His sight. That Law is the holy standard by which humanity will be judged on Judgment Day.

This may sound strange, but the worst thing you could do at this point of time is to try and clean up your lifestyle—you realize that you have sinned, so from now on you will keep the Ten Commandments, do good deeds, say the right things and think only pure thoughts. But should a judge let a murderer go because he says he will now live a good life? No, he's in debt to justice and therefore must be punished.

Perhaps you think that God is good and will therefore overlook your sins. But if you were guilty of terrible crimes in a civil court and said to the judge, "Judge, I am guilty but I believe that you are a good man and will therefore overlook my crimes," the judge would probably respond by saying, "You are right about one thing; I am a good man, and it's because of my goodness that I am going to see that justice is done, that you are punished for your crimes." If God is good, He should punish murderers. liars, thieves, etc., and Hell will be their dreadful fate.

What a terrible place Hell must be, we can catch a glimpse of how terrible sin must be in the sight of God by looking to the punishment given for it—eternal punishment. Their punishment will be just but severe to the uttermost. Take the time to read what Jesus said Hell was like in Mark 9:43-48. I am afraid for you...please,

Can you see your predicament? You are guilty of sinning against God Himself, and, because you have a conscience, you have sinned "with knowledge." Every time you lied, stole, lusted, etc., you did it with knowledge that it was wrong? Does the fact that you have sinned against God scare you? It should. You have actually angered Him by your sin. The Bible says His wrath abides on you, that you are an "enemy of God in your mind through wicked works." But let fear work for your good in the same way that a fear of jumping out of a plane at a great height would make you put on a parachute.

I am not the only one who doesn't want you to end up in Hell, God Himself is not willing that you perish. To make clear what an incredible thing He has done for you in the Gospel, let's look again to civil law: You are standing in front of a judge, guilty of very serious crimes. All the evidence has been presented and there is no doubt about your guilt. The fine for your crime is $250,000 or imprisonment, but you haven't two pennies to rub together. The judge is about to pass sentence...he lifts his gavel, when someone you don't even know steps in and pays the fine for you. The moment you accept that payment, you are free to go. Justice has been served, the law has been satisfied, and what's more, the stranger who paid your fine showed how much he cares for you. His payment was evidence of his love.

That's what God did for you, in the person of Jesus Christ, you are guilty, He paid the fine 2,000 years ago. It is that simple. The Bible puts it this way: "he was bruised for our iniquities . . . Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the Law being made a curse for us...God commended His love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." It was no small thing for Jesus to die for us. The only thing that would satisfy the demands of Eternal Law was the suffering death of the sinless Son of God.

What love God must have for you! He suffered unspeakable agony, so that you wouldn't have to be punished for your sins. His sacrificial death and resurrection mean that you need no longer be in debt to the Law, and God can now grant you everlasting life if you obey Him -- death no longer has a legal hold upon those who belong to Jesus Christ.

What should you then do? Realize that you stand guilty before a just and Holy God and deserve to be punished for your sins then repent, turn from your sins and put your trust in Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord. Don't put it off until tomorrow.

Not sure how to approach God? If you are not sure how to pray, read Psalm 51 and make it your prayer. Then put your faith in Jesus Christ in the same way you would put your faith in a parachute. You don't just "believe" it will benefit you, you actually trust yourself to it by putting it on. Then, once you have made peace with God, read the Bible daily and obey what you read.
