Expecting Heaven without knowing the Son?

 For most of us, any memory of wondering whether or not we would achieve heaven after death was simply not enough to help us to consider any sort of righteous living. Though most of society believes heaven is a real place, many still do not realize that their is a
process to complete that will place in you a real hope in knowing that you can have that assurance you have hoped for.
Unfortunately their are some who have been influenced by religion that has given them a false hope about heaven.
Those who still think they have a "pretty good chance" they will make it there have a deep delusion that must be exposed in order for them to hear the real truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ that teaches you must be born-again, and begin a relationship with the One true God, for He is Eternal life.

Excerpt from my book  "Are you saved or Deceived?"
I have spoken to some religious people out there that believe they have a pretty good chance that they are going to heaven, as long as they live a decent life and are good neighbors. This is deception! I don’t know about you, but I would not feel secure about basing my eternal destiny on chance. To be hopeful that you will have a right standing with God because of your good works when you die is not faith; it is just a false hope.
Romans 3:10 “There is none righteous, not even one; there is none who understands, there is none who seeks for God; All have turned aside, together they have become useless; there is none who does good, there is not even one.”
According to Gods word, I know that I have eternal life, not because of my self righteousness but because I have believed His word that teaches me that He became my righteousness by His death on the cross. God wants your life so He can help you walk in truth in every area. There are many counseling centers that can help you with some of the needs that you have in your life, yet when God fills you with His presence and His light you will discover that just a few moments in His presence will help you with that life long struggle that you have felt like their was no remedy for. Only God can reach you in your deepest need. He understands you fully and He knows how to help you with everything that you may face in your life.
1 John 1: 1-3
We proclaim to you the one who existed from the beginning, whom we have heard and seen. We saw Him with our own eyes and touched Him with our own hands. He is the Word of life. This one who is life itself was revealed to us, and we have seen Him. And now we testify and proclaim to you that He is the one who is eternal life. He was with the Father, and then He was revealed to us.  We proclaim to you what we ourselves have actually seen and heard so that you may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
In the book of 1 John, the Apostle John has some amazing insight into the matter of eternal life. Having known Jesus as His disciple, seems as if he had a real tangible understanding of eternal life and he shares it with us in the Bible. It would do any heart good to devote some real time of study to these marvelous books of  first, second and third John.
1 John 5:20-21 And we know that the Son of God has come, and he has given us understanding so that we can know the true God. And now we live in fellowship with the true God because we live in fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the only true God, and He is Eternal life. Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God’s place in your hearts.

Any substitute that we would create in our hearts by denying Jesus as the only source of eternal life will leave us delusional in our hearts about the real answers that will lead us to real truths.

John 3:16
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
John 3:36
"He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him."
 John 17:3
"This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

Do you see a thread of truth in these words that Jesus spoke and some that was part of His prayer to His Father?
If I may say this; Eternal life is a person, namely Jesus Christ. That should be obvious to us who know Him.
You cannot anticipate  citizenship In a heavenly Kingdom without becoming personally adopted into His family through the newbirth that He has offered to you through Salvation in the cross of Jesus Christ.
