Characteristics of lifes destination

What do the following have in common.
Jealousy, strife, envying, drunkenness, revelry, murder, hatred, adultery, drug use, worship of things, false teaching, fornication, homosexual impurity, coarse jesting, wrath, rebellious, and liars, all of these are manifestations of an unchanged heart and God says those who do these things will not inherit His Kingdom. God provides this list so no one can say they were fooled by things like being taught He did not exist and they evolved from something that came from nothing. However those who repent and accept the forgiveness of God offered through the payment for sin provided by Jesus the Christ will be changed and able to enter Heaven. The evidence of those who have been changed are manifest by lives of love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and self-control. These things usually result in the followers of Christ being called intolerant, bigots and the like, but God calls them His children. How we choose to live our lives is up to us but God wants us to make an informed decision. Study of the Bible allows for that informed choice but you have to also choose to get informed. Remember life is short and eternity is forever.
Yes, the above may be controversial but not sharing facts will not change the facts and failure to share would be a characteristic of the first list not of the second.
