Man was created in God's image to have a personal relationship with him. Some people doubt the reality of heaven and hell or think their sins are too great to be forgiven, but the Bible says God loves us and sent Jesus to die for our sins so we may be forgiven and spend eternity with God through faith in Christ. It is wisest to accept Christ's offer of salvation, forgiveness and eternal life with God rather than rely only on worldly possessions or deeds.
