“Either the gate to life with God or to eternal separation from Him." The Christians believe that through the sacrifice that Jesus Christ termed the Son of God, we can be saved. If we accept Jesus Christ as our savior and try to live without sin, then when we pass on we are to live in Heaven with God for all of Eternity as a reward for having been a good child of God. Since we are still always guilty of sin, then we must strive to ask God’s Forgiveness and continue to try to achieve a sinless state. For those who do not follow the path of God, then they will forever be condemned to damnation within Hell. It is, however, taught that we can always ask for forgiveness and be given that forgiveness up until the very last moment of breath.
How is it possible to know anything at all? “God has spoken! He communicates with man through both general and special revelation (the Word and Jesus Christ)." The Word being the Holy Bible, consisting of the Old and New Testament, which is the Book by which Christians live by and learn of God’s Commandments for us to know what we must do to live within God’s Grace just as His Son, Jesus Christ, did in the New Testament, then so should we.
How do we know what is right and wrong? “Based on the character of God as good. He sets absolute standards of morality." Again the Ten Commandments are the prime example with which God has given us the directions to know what is right and wrong and what to do and what not to do. We are given teachings from infancy of what is right and wrong and we learn to depend upon those teachings to guide us in the right directions. It becomes so deeply ingrained within us that our own conscience will plague us if we do not choose the right thing over the wrong thing.
