It's important to love God. If you don't love God eventually you will get thrown into the Lake of Fire. The Bible makes it sound like it is not very long until people will be judged. That's part of the fun of it, not knowing. God is building excitement and anticipation since we don't know when judgment will be. It seems to be so far off in the distant future that many people have started saying silly things like where is God I can't see him and there is no God everything is just made out of random energy. This would be funny except for the Lake of Fire. The lake of fire is no joke. It would be nice if there was a timeout instead of a Lake of Fire. In the timeout you'd have to say you're sorry and you would have to demonstrate that you're going to do better. Then you would come out of timeout and then get to go into the Eternal Paradise. The Book of Revelation does not make it sound like it works that way. There is one Parable where Jesus says you're going to have to pay back before you can get out of prison. So maybe there's more complexity to it, the Revelation chapter 20 makes it sound pretty simple. You might take a gander.
Jesus told a bunch of parables. People kept saying why are you talking in parables. Jesus told his disciples to you it is given but to them it is not given so that's why they get parables. Jesus said he was come to the lost sheep of the House of Israel so the whole thing seems somewhat unintuitive. I mean if you're of the lost sheep of the House of Israel do you somehow understand The Parables better than everyone else? The disciples were of the lost sheep they didn't seem to understand very well. And everyone still ponders over the meaning of some of the Parables to this day. We simply don't know what they mean. I mean summer fairly obvious like don't do bad stuff. So if you just stick to the basics love God and treat other people the way you want to be treated. This would be a good start. Then ask Jesus to save you from your sins. Jesus was the perfect sacrifice for all sin. It's simple, it just seems complicated.
