However, I do know from the Bible that worldly fame can't take anyone to heaven.
The only one who can save is Jesus Christ. By faith in Him you can be saved, guaranteeing you a place in heaven for all eternity, regardless of your popularity, talent, or wealth.
Did Donna Summer ever place her faith for salvation in Jesus Christ and Him alone? Only she and God know that. The only thing that matters to her now is her relationship with Jesus Christ.
This is what the Bible says about how to be saved:
- John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
- John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
- Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
- Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
- Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
- Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
- Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
- Acts 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved ...
- Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
- John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Being a world-famous singer (known as the Queen of Disco) doesn't save anyone from Hell. Having a fortune in worldly wealth doesn't purchase a place in heaven.
God is not impressed with worldly fame, or great riches or professional talent.God sent His only begotten Son Jesus to die on the cross to pay for Donna Summer's sins. God offered her the free gift of eternal life, if only she would believe on Jesus Christ and call out to Him for salvation. God gave Donna Summer 63 years to accept the free gift of eternal life.
Did she ever receive Jesus as her personal Saviour? If not, it is eternally too late for her.
But it is not yet too late for you.

She gave her life to Christ in the 80's which is why she got out of the music industry..I was a fan and remember when she announced her salvation. Please do some research before putting someone in hell just because of what they accomplished on earth.
Dear RedeemedOne, Thank you for taking the time to comment. I would like to point out that nowhere in my article did I say that anyone is in hell. I simply state that worldly wealth and fame don't get people into heaven, but only a relationship with Christ. It is not my goal to research and try to determine who is in heaven and who is not. As I stated above, Only God Knows. My goal is to get as many people as possible to read the Bible verses about how to be saved.
