God has provided us, the human race, with His grace and He planned this even before He created our world. He has known which of us would accept Jesus since then, even though His grace and our atonement was paid for by Jesus on the cross two-thousand years ago. Jesus paid the price for all of us even though He knew there would be many who would not accept Him as their Savior.
You can know God and His purpose for your life better if you read His Word. The more you know Him and His Word the better you will be able to stand against the devil until Jesus comes.
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.
