Why do you blog?
God called me to be a preacher, so since my church is closed I tell His Story here. God loves you more than you know, seek to know Him while you can.
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!
Every day I need Him. Every night I need Him. Regardless of the circumstances, good or bad, He lives in my heart so He is with me wherever I am. Seek Him for yourself because there are many stories of people who have had “near death experiences” some were even clinically dead for more than ten minutes and they saw Him and experienced Heaven before coming back. Eternity is real so make sure that you will have a place there.
The way that Heaven is described by those who were allowed to see it and describe it in the Bible makes our life and the Earth that we call home seem to be just a shadow of what we will see in eternity. People who have been clinically dead and have come back describe a place where a feeling of love infuses everything with the Light of LIfe. The trees and the grass, the flowers and the people who are there, whether they are angels or loved ones who have gone ahead of us, have His Light shining through them. As John wrote in the book of Revelation, “there is no need for the sun or the moon because He is the Light of Life“.
As Jesus said, “I am the Light of the world.” God’s love is more physical in His presence and you can feel it like you feel the sun on your skin, but even more substantial than that. When God shows you a vision, whether it is after you “die” for a time or in a dream, you can see colors that you can’t see here on Earth, and even they are infused with His light. God does love each of us more deeply than we can possibly know, but it bothers Him because we don’t see His love or experience it here. That is why most of us try to fill that void in our being with other “things,” all of which do not satisfy the longing that we feel.
Jesus showed the love of God to the whole world while He was teaching and healing during His time with the disciples. Almost every time He healed someone, it made the priests angry because He was doing it on the Sabbath or in proximity to the Temple. Sometimes they would find Him with sinners and tax collectors and that’s when He told them that “those who are sick need a physician not those who are well“.
Seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness through Jesus Christ and your eternal Life is assured.
