From The Crucible (by Pastor Linda Pugsley)

Debits, credits, assets, etc...that's a world not too familiar to many, including myself. But here's a newsflash you can understand: you owe God big for your sins against Him but He transferred your bad debt to His account. Through Jesus, you are free of that debt; so you may want to seriously consider making the transaction and make it now before your account closes (your death) and the offer is expired.

Remember, nothing unclean can be in the presence of God; all of your broken nature, even though not started up by you, but initiated by Adam, is a filthy debt you may not bring to heaven – it is unclean. Can you imagine if, as some people suppose, God just says in the end, "Aw, c’mon, I'm a good God, everyone can just automatically come to heaven when they die". What a mess that would be! Those who asked Jesus inside them and let His nature rule their lives and were purified by that would be side by side with those who didn't. Having your debt erased but not receiving His inheritance can't happen. Each thing requires the other. If you do not accept God's nature in you, you won’t have His forgiveness.

What a mess heaven would be if greed, perversion, hatred, animosity, etc., were still a part of a person and they were in heaven! Yuck – the mess down here would just start all over again up there! No way! God may be all just...but He is also all wise. Jesus is not only your debt relief program; He is your shower to cleanse you to be in God's presence. (Acts 4:12, John 6:43-45) Cash in now; remember, the offer expires when you do! Endure the fire...it's producing pure gold!
