Do Pets Go To Heaven?

Will Our Pets Be In Heaven?

Will our pets be in Heaven?  This is a common question.  Here is what we know for sure ...

YOU have to be there to find out !!  ARE YOU ?  Are you going to be in Heaven? 
 
Doing more good things than bad things doesn't get you to heaven.  Being a good person doesn't get you to heaven.  

(Ephesians 2:9 "Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.)

Everyone Has Made Mistakes. God Forgives Us Even When We Can't Forgive Ourselves. We Believe That Committing Your Life To Christ Is The Most Important Decision That You Will Ever Make.The Bible Teaches That The Only Way Man Can Enter Into A Relationship With The Father (God) Is Through The Son (Jesus)

(John 14:6  says   “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me".). 

The Bible Teaches That There Is A God And That He Made Man To Walk With Himself And To Have Eternal Life.  However, Man Allowed Sin To Enter Into His Life (Romans 3:23 says "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,") And That Sin Separated Him From God.  We Keep Trying Different Ways To Re-Attach Ourselves To God (Going To Church, Doing Good Things, Different Religions) But None Of These Can Restore Us To God.  That's right.... no religion alone can restore you to god. you have to have a personal relationship with God.

The Bible Says That "The Wages Of Sin Is Death". It Doesn't Say However, Who Must Die.   The Bible Tells Us That God Saw Our Need, And Loved Us So Much, That He Sent His Son, Jesus, To Die For Our Sins, So That We Could Be Restored To A Right Relationship With Him (John 3:16  “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.").

He Offers This To Us As A Free Gift, If We Only Ask Him.  Romans 10:9   says "if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved".
 
There are four steps to receive Christ.

• Admit your need. (I am a sinner.)

• Be willing to turn from your sins (repent) and ask for God's forgiveness.

• Believe that Jesus Christ died for you on the cross and rose from the grave.

• Through prayer, invite Jesus Christ to come in and control your life through the Holy Spirit. (Receive Jesus as Lord and Savior)
  
   

You Can Commit Your Life To Christ By Praying A Simple Prayer Something Like one of these prayers:

Lord,
I Don't Deserve Forgiveness.. I Know I Have Done Things Against Your Will.. Please, Lord Take Control Of My Life. Forgive Me For The Things I Have Done, And For Ignoring You. I Believe That You Sent Your Son To Die For My Sins, So That I May Live .... Thank You For That. I Give My Life To You Lord. Make Me A New Person.
Amen
 
Dear Jesus, I’m praying this prayer because I know that I have done wrong by living without you. I am sorry and I trust that you will forgive me. I accept your love and grace for me and ask that you would be my Lord. Help me believe in you and love you every day, and help me to show the world what you are like and how great your love is.
In Jesus Name. Amen.

​

To finally get to the question....  One reason we believe pets will be in heaven is that the Bible mentions animals in the afterlife.

(Isaiah 11:6  "The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together; and a little child shall lead them.   Unlike humans, animals do not have souls in the same way we do, nor are they required to make a choice for or against God. They are not burdened by original sin and do not need salvation. As a result, there is no final judgment for them as there is for us. Humans, on the other hand, must make the conscious decision to accept or reject Jesus.

​

​Billy Graham once said " If your eternal happiness is dependent on your pets being in Heaven, then I'm sure GOD has made a provision for that".
