The Perfect Path by Philosopher88
“6 Set me as a seal upon your heart: for love is as strong as death; jealousy is as cruel as the grave: the coals there of are coals of fire, which has a most vehement flame.
7 Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be despised.” -Songs of Solomon 8:6-7 (KJV)

Jesus Christ: Jesus Christ is the son of the one true God so that he that believes in Jesus Christ as the son of God and believes this may be saved by God. The crucifixion of Jesus Christ was the only valuable sacrifice to the eyes of his father that would make us, the people, gain grace and repentance for our sins from the one true God. Because of Christ, we gained the grace, love, and mercy of his father. Jesus dies for our sins means Jesus dies for us, the humans, humanity, man & women alike. He paved the way for us to make it easier to repent and gain forgiveness from his dad and from him. Jesus is the Passover lamb; his supper, the blood is the covenant between you and the father and Jesus, it’s the new covenant; Which if you honor, you go to heaven. The Body, is the bread of life, offered by Jesus meaning, if you eat his body, if you were to die or live right now, you will come back to life or stay alive because of that body, which is the bread. When you die, if you have believed and received Jesus Christ as your Lord & Savior as well as believe that he and the father are one and that Jesus is the son of the one true god; taken the blood to drink, the body to eat, the baptism of the holy spirit to be reborn (spiritually), and if you’re a man (circumcised), you gain full opportunity to enter the gates of heaven. If you have taken those steps, you are ready for heaven. The bread of life, when taken, also, means that you abide in Jesus Christ spiritually, and he abides in you .Also, if you believe and declare that Jesus Christ is the son of God and your true savior, then also, by this, you are saved and will go to heaven if you follow his lead and become like him spiritually- follow his laws. He’s with you til’ the very end and beyond (Mathew 28:19-20), even during temptation (Revelation 3:10). Take up your cross (take up your sword (the bible) and armor (your God (Proverbs 30:5)) until death and beyond) deny yourself (deny evil ways you might have taken in the past) and follow Jesus Christ, don’t be ashamed of him or he will be ashamed of you, and if you speak of him before men, he will speak of you to his father (Mathew 10:32-33). Also, feed and consider the poor, comfort the widow, visit those whom you must visit in prison, clothe those who are naked and give to eat and take in strangers who are in real need of your help (or in other words consider others and be compassionate and have compassion on everyone, not just you’re best friends or those whom you’re comfortable with), and only those who are in real need of your help, do good, lend and expect nothing (Luke 6:35)(1 Corinthians 13:4). Also, spread the word and the truth, he who doesn’t just scatters (Mathew 12:30). Be brave (Deuteronomy 11: 8), yet gentle (Ephesians 4:32), take up your cross (Mathew 16:24), for you live to die (Ecclesiastes 9:5), and are sent unto the wolves like sheep for the slaughter (Romans 8:36), and through death you gain victory (1 Corinthians 15:54-55), but the fearful and wicked shall perish (Revelation 21:8). Don’t fear anyone because your God is your strength and he will be your protection, and if it’s meant for you to die, it will be a moment of testimony (Luke 21:12-13) and you will be with your God in paradise (Deuteronomy 31:6).
All of the virtues listed above, can help you be the perfect person. Use them all as much as possible and meditate on them, and stop sinning and you will be perfect and guaranteed to go to heaven.

Whoever said one has to tame his mouth, never realized that life never permits you to be silent but to say what is important in that moment.- Even if it’s rude & an uneducated response!!!- So don’t judge those who fail to control their mouth, when we all know that even one can’t control their temper at times. We all have our buttons that can be pressed at times people… James 3:8, Proverbs 16:32, Mathew 12:37, Ecclesiastes 12:14
