Death and Taxes

The two positives in this world are "death and taxes". Regarding taxes, you will have to pay a penalty if they are not paid. Regarding death, the Bible says there is life after death (Acts 17:31).

The Bible also says, there are two final destinations. One is Hell, described in Rev. 20:15, which says it is a place of non-consuming fire. No decision is needed to get there, either. The second destination is Heaven and in order to get there, a decision is required.

Heaven is described in John 14:2. It's a place where God lives and His Son Jesus Christ has already paid the penalty for you. However, the decision that's required, is to believe He paid that penalty for you by dying on the cross 2000 years ago.
