Would a Loving God Send People to Hell? Could a Holy God Take People to Heaven?

TRACT TEXT:
 
In a world full of statistics, here is the ultimate
statistic: one out of every one dies. Then what?
God had a problem. Well, not exactly. The great God is too powerful and wise to have problems; He only solves them. But it appears to us that He had a problem in figuring out a plan of salvation for mankind.
What is the problem? Actually it arises from a seeming clash between two of the great attributes of God—His love and His righteousness. On the one hand, God is a God of love. He loves people passionately. They are His crowning work. Among all the marvels of creation, He is delighted in a special way with humanity. He wants the companionship of every man, woman, boy and girl for all eternity.
But the problem arises from the fact that we are all sinners and God is righteous. He can’t  look on sin with approval. He can’t wink at sin, overlook it or condone it. Sin must be punished and the wages of sin is death. If sinners are ever going to be at home with God in heaven, their sins must somehow be put away. No unforgiven sinner can ever enter heaven.
Now how can God devise a plan of salvation that satisfies His love and yet does not compromise His righteousness? How can He be a just God and a Saviour at the same time? How can He be a righteous God and pardon ungodly sinners? That’s the dilemma. The famous Greek philosopher, Socrates, once said to Plato, then his pupil, “It may be that God can forgive sins, but I cannot see how.”
Seven requirements for any plan of salvation:
It was an act of indescribable grace when God decided to rescue fallen mankind. But once He made the decision, He had to devise a plan that would satisfy His love and His holiness. Since He loves everyone, His salvation must be:
Offered to all. He doesn’t want any left out.
Sufficient for all. It must meet the needs of every person without exception.
Something for which everyone is eligible. No amount of evil should be able to bar anyone from participation.
Simple enough for anyone to understand—no use making an incomprehensible offer.
Something which anyone can receive. The true religion must not have any conditions that some couldn’t meet.
There must be no possibility for human boasting. Pride is the parent sin, and there will be no pride in heaven. Everyone must have the same fitness for heaven.
Yes the plan must be one which God does not force on a person against his will.
The only answer? Finding the right substitute.
There is only one conceivable solution to the dilemma. A suitable substitute must somehow be found to pay the penalty of the sins of the people. Most of us are familiar with the idea of substitution. In some athletic events, the coach sends someone onto the field as a substitute for another player. The average Hebrew believer in Old Testament times understood substitution.
When he brought an animal to the altar of sacrifice and laid his hand on the animals head, he pictured the transfer of his sins to a substitute that would die in his place. But even here there are conditions to be met by a substitute that would fully and finally solve our need to meet God’s requirements:
The substitute must be human. Otherwise the exchange would not be fair or equal.
He must be a sinless person. Otherwise he would have to die for his own sins.
He must be God. Only an infinite person could atone for the numberless sins of the human race. The value of the substitute must be great enough to cover all the sins of humanity—past, present, and future.
He must shed his blood, because divine law has decreed that without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin. Life is in the blood and there must be life for life.
He must be willing, or Satan could charge God with unjustly forcing an involuntary victim to die in the place of ungodly sinners.
Jesus of Nazareth qualifies on all counts.
The only Person in the universe who meets the conditions is Jesus Christ.
He became Man at Bethlehem. Born of a Virgin Mary, He is perfect Man (1 Timothy 2:5). As the great Christian hymn-writer, Charles Wesley, put it, “Our God contracted to a span, incomprehensibly made Man.”
He is God (John 1:1). He has attributes of God, the titles of God, and is equal with God the Father.
He is without sin; the record cannot be denied. He knew no sin, He did no sin, and there is no sin in Him (2 Cor. 5:21; 1 Pet. 2:22; 1 Jn. 3:5).
He shed His blood as a substitute for sinners on the Cross of Calvary. Multitudes have availed themselves of the blood of Jesus Christ, God’s Son, that cleanses from all sin (1 Jn. 1:7).
He did it willingly so that sinners could be saved. There was no reluctance. On the contrary, there was a joyful submission to the will of God (Ps. 40:8; Heb. 12:2).
The truth of Christ as our Substitute is found throughout the Bible. Isaiah boldly proclaimed, “He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him. and by His stripes we are healed...and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all” (Isa. 53:5-6). The Apostle Paul said, “The Son of God...loved me and gave Himself for me” (Gal. 2:20). Peter added: “[He] bore our sins in His own body on the tree” (1 Pet. 2:24).
And the terms of this amazing arrangement?
Since the Lord Jesus perfectly meets all the requirements for a substitutionary sacrifice, God can now proclaim His marvelous way of salvation, the good news of His grace. He can offer salvation as a gift to all who repent of their sins and receive His Son as Lord and Saviour by a definite act of faith.
Notice that this salvation is available to all. “Whoever believes on Him should not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16). If it depended on money, the poor would miss out.
It is sufficient for all (1 Jn. 2:2). The death of this infinite Saviour has power to atone for all the sins of the world. It is supremely adequate.
Everyone is eligible for it because everyone is a sinner (Rom. 3:23). It’s his very unfitness that qualifies anyone for God’s salvation. It’s a good thing that the gift of eternal life is not just for the intellectual, the wealthy, or the famous. Some of us would never qualify. Even if it were only for those who could read, walk, talk, or see, some would be excluded. Only the gospel suits the whole world.
It is simple enough for anyone to understand. No one is too primitive or illiterate. The Lord Jesus says, “Come.” Nothing complicated about that! As William Cowper put it, “O! how unlike the complex works of man, heaven’s easy, artless, unencumbered plan!”
Anyone can receive it (Rev. 22:17). Salvation is by repentance; anyone can do that. It is by faith; anyone can believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. No one is more credible than He, and nothing is more reasonable than for the creature to trust His Creator.
Grace excludes boasting. It says, “I did all the sinning. Christ did all the saving. I claim His merits, and not my own. I have no right to enter heaven because of what I am or what I have done. Christ alone is my passport.”
Man is not coerced into accepting God’s salvation (John 3:36). The Creator made him a free moral agent. Strange as it may seem, not everyone wants to be saved. God doesn’t force heaven or anyone. He will not take anyone to heaven against his or her will. You can be certain that any religion that grows by coercion, violence, and cruelty is not the true one.
So God’s way of salvation is the perfect way.
This offer from heaven meets all the terms necessary to satisfy God’s requirements and at the same time can be made available to all humanity. Christ’s work on the Cross enables God to fully exercise His love without compromising His justice. The Psalmist says it poetically: “Mercy and truth have met together; righteousness and peace and kissed each other” (Ps. 85:10). Given the character of God and given the sinfulness of man, it is clear that it is the only possible way of salvation.
Charles Spurgeon asks: “Who would have thought of the just ruler dying for the unjust rebel? This is no teaching of human mythology, or dream of poetic imagination. This method of expiation is only known among men because it is a fact. Fiction could not have devised it. God Himself ordained it. It is not a matter which could have been imagined.”
Perhaps the clearest verses in the Bible on the subject of salvation by grace apart from works are Romans 4:4-5, “Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt. But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.”
Shocking as it may seem, God saves those who do not work, that is, who do not try to earn or deserve salvation but receive it as a free gift. And it is only ungodly people whom He saves. Not good people, not people who do their best, but people who are willing to admit that thy are ungodly. In other words, people who repent.
Pay attention to the word “believe.” That is the crucial one. To believe means to receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. It means to accept Him as the One who paid the penalty of one’s sins; it means to depend on Him as the only hope of heaven.
When a person believes in Him, he is saved. And he can know it, not by his feelings, but by the infallible Word of God (John 1:12, 3:15-16; 5:24; Rom. 10:9; Eph. 2:8; 1 Jn. 5:10-13)

Review: This one was quite difficult and messy. The globe needs a little care to place the countries on correctly, and the glitter is messy.
I would say this one would NEED to be for an older child, I think... Maybe Ages 7+
Also, this kit suggested gluing the string onto the back of the picture board, and gluing the sun onto the string... Which to me is rather ridiculous as it's hard to get glue to stay. What it really needs is foam with double-sided tape that can be stuck on the back with the string sandwiched to stick it like is done with some of the other kits. (Clara, homeschooling mother) [or try sticky tape]

The Good News Must Go Out by Rebecca Davis

A sultan whose three hundred wives were buried alive . . . cannibals who believed there was no such thing as a white woman . . . an elegant French lady who watched in horror as the missionary performed surgery on her kitchen table . . . . These are just a few of the real people encountered in these true missionary stories of Margaret Nicholl Laird in her ministry in the Central African Republic, as she and many others gave their lives in service of the King of Glory, whose Good News could not be stopped. Second in the Hidden Heroes series of true missionary books for children.

A "Thinking Further" section in the back of the book gives Scripture verses and discussion questions for each chapter.

With Two Hands by Rebecca Davis

Why would a crippled old man wait by the side of the road every day for twenty years? Why would a slave and a witch doctor walk for three days to find a man called Jesus? Why would a lame man purposely walk to a tribe where he knew he could be killed? Sixteen captivating true episodes from the ministry of missionary Dick McLellan in Ethiopia, as well as many national missionaries, show the power of God in the midst of darkness. One by one the people declared, "With this hand I renounce the devil and all his works! With this hand I embrace my Savior Jesus Christ! All I am and all I have! Two hands!" First in the Hidden Heroes series of true missionary stories for children.

Witness Men by Rebecca Davis

In 1938, in the remote highlands of a mountainous island, explorers discovered thousands upon thousands of tribal people. Missionaries began to come, to bring the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Little did they know that many of the people of the tribes were waiting . . . waiting . . . for someone to come and help them out of the darkness of their old way of life. Fifteen chapters recount the true missionary stories of the gospel spreading throughout the highlands of Papua, Indonesia, from 1955 to 2010, when one of the tribes received their first New Testaments. Third in the Hidden Heroes series of true missionary stories for children.

Emmy Lou's New Shoes by Edith Martin

“You better stay out of the creek today. The water is too high to wade,” Mom had said. But when Becky came to play, Emmy didn’t want to hear that little warning voice in her head. Emmy Lou hated disappointing Becky. So when Becky suggested, “Let’s walk across the creek just one time, “ Emmy Lou picked up her shoes and led the way. The sun was bright and warm, and it was so fun to share her creek with a friend. Suddenly there was a splash, and one new shoe swirled away in the rushing brown water. A repentant Emmy Lou wished she could go back and do that day over again. She can’t, but she soon has opportunity to apply the hard lesson she learned. A true story.

Daddy on the Mend by Tina Fehr

Andrew stood stiff and alert beside Daddy’s bed. Little Sharilyn stared with wide eyes from Mom’s arms. Christopher clung to Mom’s skirt, and Megan gripped Grandma’s hand.

Who Taught the Bird?

Full Text of Who Taught the Bird?
Just returned from South America, Uncle Edward had wonderful stories to tell his nieces and nephews.
“I’ll tell you a snake story,” said the young man. “One beautiful morning, I roamed off as usual, with gun over my shoulder, and my lunch in my pocket, in search of game.
“After a while, feeling rather tired and very hungry, I sat down on a fallen tree to rest.
“While seated there, my attention was attracted by the cries of a bird which was fluttering over a leafy spot, doubtless her tiny nest. She was in great distress, and I could not help rising to see, if possible, the cause of her trouble. I soon found out. Creeping slowly along towards the tree was one of the most venomous snakes in South America, with its small glittering eyes fixed on the bird, and its forked tongue darting quickly out and in.
“Soon I saw a curious thing happen. The male bird flew quickly away. In a little while I saw him return with a small twig covered with leaves in his beak. Perching near the nest, he laid the twig carefully across it, covering his mate and her young. Then, taking his place on one of the topmost branches of the tree, he seemed to grow quieter, and there awaited the approach of the enemy.
“By this time the snake had reached the spot. He twisted himself around the trunk and climbed up the tree. Then gliding along the branch, he came close to the nest and lifted his venomous head, ready to dart upon the poor bird. His small, glittering eyes watched the nest for a moment, and then — “
Uncle Edward paused but the children hurried him on with the story.
“ — then suddenly throwing his head back, as if he had received some sudden blow, he turned around, made his way down the tree and disappeared in the long grass.
“I climbed up the tree and examined the little broken branch. I carried it home and told the whole story to a native friend, showing him the twig. I learned from him that it had been picked by the bird from a bush which is poisonous to the snake and which he is never known to touch. The little helpless creature had used it as a shield of defense.
Satan is called in Scripture “that old serpent.” He is intent on the destruction of men and women and boys and girls, helpless as birds against his attacks and cleverness.
But God has told us in His Word of a tree that is poison to our enemy, and is certain protection for us, old and young. I mean the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ. Christ “His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree” (1 Peter 2:24). “With His stripes we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5).
Isn’t it wonderful that our gracious God should teach the bird about the tree where it may “help itself” to a healing branch? And is it less wonderful that He has provided the cross, and the great salvation accomplished there by our Lord Jesus Christ for us? No, it is the most remarkable fact in the universe that the Son of God “loved me and gave Himself for me” (Galatians 2:20), and that salvation is for “whosoever will.” Will YOU?
“In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him” (1 John 4:9).
“But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name” (John 1:12).

Growing with the Millers by Mildred A Martin

Gather around the table with Sharon, Peter, Timmy, Laura and Beth Miller, and read about how Timmy saves an elderly neighbor's life, Sharon teaches summer Bible school, Peter shoots the wrong deer, Sioux Indians return good for evil, and much more! As always, each "Miller" story is based on true incidents and illustrates verses from Scripture.

Other: Miller Family series. The Miller Family books can be read independently and there is no need to read them in chronological order as each book, and even each chapter stands alone. However, the children do grow older through the stories and thus the chronological order for this series is: Storytime with the Millers, Wisdom and the Millers, Missionary Stories with the Millers, Prudence and the Millers, School Days with the Millers, Growing with the Millers. The ages of the children in this family are quite spread out so the books appeal to a wide age group. Illustrations of women show Mennonite headcoverings.

Reading level: Read to: 4-7 years; Read myself 8-15 years.
