It would be so easy. Just buy a bunch of chocolate bars until you find your ticket, and youre home free. You might spend a little money and maybe even gain a few pounds but in the end you'd be set. . . right ? Unfortunately its not that easy. But fortunately were all here on earth working for the same goal and in turn, we can all help eachother out.
The Lord is the one who will ultimately judge us when that time is to come. He is the only one, and nobody knows exactly how we will be judged or on what conditions. But what we do know is the path we are to walk and the gate we are to enter in to. Christ taught that "except a man be born of the water and of the spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God" (John 3:5). Thus we see the need to be baptized. But then we ask ourselves: Is that it?
The answer is no. Althoguh some might think so, baptism is not the "golden ticket into heaven". Some would say that it doesn't matter what happens after baptism, that you can go on sinning and no matter what you do you will always have your baptism, or "golden ticket". This may be somewhat true but we are still held accountable for the things we do after baptism. Thats what the Holy Ghost is for. The gospel of Jesus Christ teaches us thst we must have faith in Jesus Christ and his attonement, repent, be baptized, and endure to the end. The last part is the kicker. Enduring to the end.
