God loved the world so much that He gave His only Son to bring us salvation. All that we have to do is believe in Him and what He did for us. It sounds too simple but if you can just give your heart to Him and believe in Him, repent of your sinful ways, then you will have eternity to be thankful and to thank Him for it. Our righteousness is nothing compared to His holiness but He loves you more than you can imagine. It is your sinful lifestyle that He can’t stand.
God is LOVE and it is that love that saves us from our sinful lives IF we will believe in Him and in the sacrifice made for us by His Son, Jesus. The Bible describes God as being clothed in light. Heaven is described as being lit by Him and by light that pervades everything in Heaven where there are no shadows.
Many will miss out on going to Heaven by just 18 inches, the distance between your head and your heart. Knowing about Jesus isn’t good enough. Knowing about God or even knowing and memorizing Bible passages will not save your soul. The priests in Jesus’ day had memorized most of the Old Testament but they still didn’t recognize Jesus as their Messiah.
In this life many of us worry about retirement when we should be more concerned about our eternal home. Your life and mine only amount to about seventy or eighty years if we are in good health. Some of us may reach our 100th birthday if we have good genetics and good health. But consider how long one million years is…and that is just a small part of eternity.
Make sure of your eternal home because it will be so wonderful in God’s home!
