Chloe wonders if cats can go to heaven

Chloe got really serious and asked me if animals and more especially cats would go to heaven. I told Chloe that a prominent Christian scholar had said that, although the Bible did not speak on the subject, he certainly hoped that pets of true Christians would be there. Chloe immediately became depressed and replied, “Jazzy Cat, we are doomed if we have to depend on WH getting us there because he is such a sinner. It is plain to see that he sins and falls short of God’s righteous standard every single day. I am afraid that his good works will not be good enough for him to earn justification before God.” I told Chloe that she was right that the life and deeds of WH was not sufficient for him to gain entrance into heaven. But, while God requires perfect righteousness for a person to stand justified before him, he provides an amazing way in which that can be accomplished. I said, “Chloe cat, the Bible lesson tomorrow will explain exactly how that is accomplished.”
