Introduction
What we believe or don't believe about the Bible, the Living Word of God, is of utmost importance. I cannot stress that enough. What we think, and what we believe, matters. One's eternal life, where they will spend eternity, forever and ever and ever, may hinge on whether he/she believes truth or lies. While right now I don't have time to explain as fully as what might be needed in order for another to understand, here are a few topics of extreme importance when it comes to eschatology (end times understanding).
What You Need to Know

To Be Continued...
I hope that some of these topics and questions will get your mind stirring as you seek truth for today. Time is short. Getting the gospel out to as many people as possible, that they would be saved, is of utmost importance at this time. Jesus Christ gave us this commandment, if you love me you will obey my commands. Jesus Christ commands us to teach everyone everywhere to obey all that He said to do. (Hint: see Matthew 28:16-20). We must obey God rather than man, when they are in conflict. To do otherwise could have eternal consequences.
The sin issue is the most important issue today. Jesus said all have sinned. We all have sinned. Go back and read the Ten Commandments in Exodus, the 2nd book of the Bible. What is the 1st commandment? Honor the Lord your God and serve Him only; have no other gods besides the One True God Jesus Christ. Honor your father; honor your mother. Do not steal; do not commit adultery. Do not covet your neighbor's wife; do not covet your neighbor's belongings. To break even just one commandment, Jesus says we're guilty of all. Even just thinking dishonorably (lustfully) at another woman (or man) God considers sin inside the heart.
So, we must be cleansed from our sin, or else the penalty of our sin is death. For no unrighteousness will inherit the kingdom of God. See Revelations for more on a list of who doesn't get to get into heaven, and make sure you're not on that list! The "good news" is that God has provided an acceptable way of getting to the Father, and that is through belief and acceptance of His only begotten Son Jesus Christ, for salvation and deliverance. Call on His name today, the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Confess your sin to Him, and ask Him to forgive you and cleanse you from ALL unrighteousness. Know that God IS FAITHFUL and JUST to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Then, go be a do-er of the Word, as Christ commands us in the book of James. Read God's Holy Word, and seek to obey all that He says to do. Sit at the feet of Jesus in worship. Go out and serve others. Tell people about Jesus; pray for others.
I hope this was helpful to anyone reading. Jesus Christ loves you more than you might ever know. For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son that whoever would believe might have eternal life. Put all your hope and faith in the One True God of the Universe, Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Please, do it TODAY.
To be continued, if the Lord allows. May Jesus Christ richly bless you.
