Heaven vs. Hell - Which One Have You Chosen?

I was wondering, not having seen either heaven or hell, how to describe them in marketing lingo. I have decided on these two slogans...Heaven: Pre-paid unlimited sky miles...Hell: The ultimate non-refundable late fee. If you go to heaven, it's not because of anything you have done except receive Jesus Christ as your personal savior. You can't work hard enough, give enough money, or depend on who your parents are. Salvation is the ultimate personal decision, everyone has to make it for themselves. On the other hand, the decision on hell is yours too. All you have to do is nothing, not to make the decision to accept Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. This plan of salvation was put into place long before Jesus was born, He was the perfect lamb, slain from the foundation of the world. We were born into sin because of the original sin from the garden of Eden, but God already had a plan. When Jesus was on the cross, He cried "It is finished". That did not mean He finally died, it meant "the plan" was finished, the plan to bring mankind back into fellowship with the Father. Heaven or hell, have you chosen yet?
