Will you be singing bluegrass gospel in Heaven?

That depends entirely on your response.

The Bible says in John 3:3, “I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again”. Christ died on the cross to rescue us from our sins. Jesus said that when we put our faith in Him, trust in his sacrifice as complete payment for sins committed, we are born again. It means that a life begins in us that will continue past death into eternity with God.

What does that mean to your eternity?

You must first recognize that you are a sinner,  Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.  Romans 3:10  “There is no one righteous, not even one.”  Let’s face it, no matter how good a person you may be, chances are the day doesn’t go by without some instance of unkindness, a harsh word, a wrong thought or impure motive, etc.  The truth is, we are all sinners by nature and can’t possibly keep even God’s first commandment of loving Him with our whole heart, mind & spirit.

You cannot earn you way into Heaven, there is no cosmic tally sheet of good and bad deeds that you can depend on. God’s word, the Bible, clearly states in John 14:6;  Jesus answered, “I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me.”

What’s the alternative?

In Rev. 20:15 says,  If anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.  Hell is vividly described in God’s word as being a place of never ending torment.  Luke 16: 23 & 24, the account of the Rich Man and Lazarus, says; “in hell, where he was in torment….I am in agony in this fire….”  It’s pretty clear there won’t be music, bluegrass or otherwise, in hell.

What do you need to do?

Romans 10:13, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved”.  Recognize your helpless condition before God and trust Jesus to rescue you from your sins.  A simple prayer asking Jesus to be your Savior is all that is required to be a child of God. By asking Jesus to save you, you are accepting his gift of salvation through faith. Eph. 2:8 & 9; “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast”.

GRACE - GOD’S RICHES AT CHRIST EXPENSE.

[1]

Romans 10:13  for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." [1]
