There are only two possible destinations that a man may go to after death: either heaven or hell. While addressing the disciples before returning to heaven, Jesus revealed to them where he was going and the way that leads there. Jesus is not one of the ways but the only way to the Father. And since heaven is the dwelling place of God, it means that one must be a follower of Jesus to enter heaven.

Children of God are called to walk circumspectly to escape the traps of the wicked one. Judas was one of the twelve disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, who was put in charge of the treasury. Obviously, he was saved. Sent with the other disciples, Judas went to preach the gospel to sinners. He dined and travelled every where with Jesus, so one wonders how Satan was able to enter into him. 

Every confessed sin is judged and covered by the Lord so that the devil finds nothing to accuse you of before God. Unfortunately many believers because of ignorance try in vain to cover their sins. It is better to expose your sins on earth before death, otherwise they will follow you to accuse you before God after you have passed on to the other side of eternity where no defendant will ever be acquitted.

Many people do not seem to understand that worldly gain profits nothing. That explains why a man can do anything for material gain, at the expense of his never-dying soul. Your soul is so important to God and nothing will be accepted in exchange for it. There is no middle ground between the world and your soul: you either gain or lose one of them, depending on your choice.

God is so concerned about how we relate with Him after our conversion. He says my people perish for lack of knowledge. Whereas, iniquities and sins separate man from God, redemption bridges the gap. Unfortunately, many saved people still see themselves as sinners and strangers in the knigdom. But the Lord, out of His immense love is saying: return unto me; for I have redeemed you. Redemption makes the erstwhile sinner the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
