God - Life is about the soul - God Series, #3

Recognizing life is about the soul is powerful in guiding a person to make the right choices. If you correctly grasp this concept you will recognize what is important in your life. The truth regarding how to succeed (heaven) will be most important. That knowledge can easily be understood, but implementing it could be difficult because few possess the loving, selfless, humble, courage, perseverance, kindness, gentle character and the self discipline to align with God's requirements.
Your nature cannot be faked because it is seen by God in your characteristic responses throughout your life and particularly your responses to God-defined sin. Much of the world is too busy getting what they want and exhibits the opposite of the virtuous behaviors such as just mentioned. God's test is perfect in getting those to share in the Divine Nature. Jesus declares few will succeed despite God's desire for all to succeed - come to repentance.
Repentance is crucial since so much of God's test involves God-defined sin. The world often regards sin as a laughing matter. Consequently, this essential understanding for life's success is ignored and not taken seriously. In the absence of the characteristics God requires for success, something quite amazing results. We rightly think God is incredible in His creative abilities, as seen in the universe and the design of humankind.
At the same time we realize these are just the stage and players for His test. What is the nature of the test that allows only certain ones to succeed in a free will environment when everyone following God's directives could succeed? If the characteristics God requires are missing people will not respond to the truth. For example, the lazy and self-seeking person will have no time to seek the truth, the proud person will not humble themselves to do God's will, and the person who chooses sin opposes the will of God and may never give up their addiction.
So, right in front of each person is the truth leading to a successful life but they are blinded by what they want. There are hundreds of ways where life's desires overcome the more important truth that life is about the soul. Realizing life is about the soul a person acts to assure their success. There are many persons that possess the good characteristics God seeks but never obey and live the truth.
The scriptures teach the need to have a love of the truth in order to be saved. So even among "good people" there needs to be this very special characteristic. A love of the truth is neded to overcome the massive amount of religious error. Humankind's logic of God's love concludes most will succeed. However, God's expectations are very high and God cannot share eternity with evil. Only exceptional persons will receive the crown of life.
Who in the "so-called Christian religious world" teaches this truth? This would not be popular or acceptable and therefore it is not taught. However, it is the most extreme cruelty to suggest people can live a very casual life in relation to God and truth and somehow succeed. This book emphasizes the seriousness and certainty of judgment and the importance of living in a way that will bring each person success.
Life has many distractions from the focus you need to succeed. The most significant distraction is religion as they have distorted God's message. It would be incomplete to talk about the key aspect of every person's life (their soul) and not mention some of the religious doctrines that are soul destroying. The book points with substantial evidence why the most fundamental doctrines of the "so-call Christian religions" are terribly wrong and costly to souls.
