130: How do we get to Heaven? Wrong Answers for Catholics [Podcast]
08/03/2018 Duration: 09minI recently asked my children in evening devotions: “How do we get to Heaven?” Their answer was “Going to confession.” I didn’t really like this answer… While confession is a necessary sacrament for human salvation, I didn’t like their answer for a few reasons. It has do with highlighting the source of salvation (Christ) and the instrumentality of salvation (His sacraments). In this podcast I explain the situation and why there’s a better answer to “How do we get to Heaven?” If the audio player does not show up in your email or browser, please click here to listen.
