I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can move into the second property. It sounds devine! I don't do heat very well, so I'll pass on that one, lol. I enjoyed your two adverts. Well done and good luck in the contest. :)) Sandra xx

Thank you, Sandra, for such a lovely review.
If you've settled it all at the foot of the Cross, then you don't need to cross your fingers; it's settled. "If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." --Romans 10:9 NIV
And there are hundreds more Bible verses that secure your place in Heaven -- with faith so small as a mustard seed. God?s promises can be trusted! His word is good, forever and ever.
Yes, I don't do heat well, either -- it's just not for me. Thanks again for reading and reviewing.

These are excellent advertisements for the contest. Very clear entry requirements and lifestyle promises. They are clearly distinguished one from the other! Best wishes for your entry.

Thank you for the fine review, Wendy. Yes, God makes the choice very clear to us. The high road is a narrow road, but "nothing is impossible with God" -- that's why we call it amazing grace! Thanks again for reading and reviewing.

Wow! I got goosebumps as I read the first ad for Dwelling Number 1. It's awesome how you have written the description of Hell. You have also describe well the situation in Heaven and I have no doubt in my mind I will rent the Dwelling Number 2. The accompanying picture of Jesus Christ covered in blood and carrying the cross made me shudder. Great work! Good luck in the contest.

Dear Versch, thank you very much for your amazing, outstanding and very meaningful review. It was my first six-star review for this post and contest, which made me very happy.
This isn't an easy topic to write about! The Heaven part is fairly easy, but how many people want to hear about Hell? Even most believers are fairly uncomfortable with it. As for the image, I was debating between the blood-drenched image of Christ and His Cross, and a serene image of Christ, and my spouse (I don't even want to give away my gender here, because the contest is anonymous) felt I should go with the Cross; indeed, it's more appropriate, because the Cross and the Blood are what make the difference between Heaven and Hell, in terms of getting into Heaven. His sacrificial death becomes our means of grace, Amen! Praise Forever to the Lamb of God and the Lion of Judah!

You are most welcome! Your writing was deserving of six stars. That picture made my eyes moist because it reminds me of how much Jesus has suffered for us, physically and emotionally no doubt. Shows how much love God has for us to sacrifice His Son. I couldn't have stood watching my son suffer like Jesus did. May God's love will reign forever in the heart of mankind. Blessings! Ver

Hi Sanku,
Yes, the difference is like night and day, only more extreme. We absolutely don't deserve Heaven, but that's why salvation is by faith, through grace. We are all sinners who deserve eternal damnation, but God, in His great mercy, didn't want to let us suffer such a terrible fate, and offers us a way out.
So the Bible also says that "God is love," and He surely is.

A very interesting post, although I'm all for the gospel, it's just so wonderful that we don't have to compete for God's love, we all have it, whether good, bad or upside down, we are offered grace, and either accept or reject it. There are no favourites. And as long as we're alive, it remains open. Well done, good luck, blessings Roy

Yes, praise God!
As a well-known hymn says:
"Thank you, Lord, for saving my soul,
Thank you, Lord, for making me whole,
Thank you, Lord, for giving to me,
Thy great salvation so rich and free."
And as the Bible says, "There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." But we are justified freely by His wonderful grace! Absolutely, as long as we're alive, that Heavenly door remains open.
Thanks for a great review, and blessings to you, too, brother.
