[Biblemat] Poem, About Going To Heaven a correction

[kenneth Thomas]

It was pointed out to me (and rightly so) that I failed to stress
faithfulness in the first draft of this poem. I have corrected that
oversight by an addition one the end as well as scripture passages to match
the thought. Kenneth E. Thomas
 
About Going To Heaven
By Kenneth E. Thomas
Do you really want to go to heaven?
What are you doing toward that end?
You can’t get there just on accident
You must make some plans my friend!
The Lord Jesus has done His part
By the shedding of His sinless blood
He has "tasted of death for every man"
Without our response that’s not enough!
Only a "few will enter the strait gate"
The gate that will lead to eternal life
The "majority will enter the broad way"
A way leading to eternal death and strife!
Only those who "do the Father’s will"
Enter the strait gate to walk the narrow way 
The rest take the line of the least resistance
The way leading to night and not eternal day!
It is left up to YOU my weary Pilgrim
YOU decide what is to be YOUR fate
Believe, repent, and be baptized for remission
And YOU will enter the church by the narrow gate!
One must not only enter the "narrow gate"
For after that he must then persevere
For if one goes back into the world
Judgment day He’ll say "You’re out of here!"
