  1. What Matt is referring to when he talks about God being the bridge to Heaven and the faith versus works argument is the difference between admiring Christ and following Him. A lot of people admire Jesus, but how many really pick up their cross and follow Him? Myself included? I struggle with that one. I do my best but I sometimes feel I'm falling short on that front. As for the notion that people choose Hell over Heaven, that concept struck me as a bit strange until I stopped over thinking it. How many people choose Hell here on Earth over a good and decent life? Why would they change simply because they have passed away? I think it's more about will. As C.S. Lewis put it: "In the end there are two types of people, those who say to God your will be done and those to whom God says, your will be done." Following their own will is the true test that someone is truly self-centered, truly the Alpha and Omega of their Universe. As for love being enough, I think there is a bit more to it than what Matt described. Loving someone is easy, especially if they love you. Christ said, even the tax collectors love those who love them. It's loving people who don't and forgiving others, that is the trick and we all struggle with that. Just look around. God Bless. 🙏
