I am thankful for the Bible ~ God’s very own written thoughts ~ that He has given to us so that we will know how to live in a way that is pleasing to Him. The Bible that shows us how to act while on this earth so that we can live in a place of eternal reward.
Heaven is real.
It is not some figment of our imagination.
God has created it for those who are obedient. It is a place where there will be no more tears… no more pain….no more sickness….no more sorrowful partings.
And I want to go there. I want to spend my eternal life in this beautiful place with my husband… my children… my friends and family. I want to hug my beautiful sister who is waiting there for me~ because she did live her life in obedience to Him and I know she is resting there in Paradise.
But God is just. He will reward those who diligently seek Him…. and He will punish those who do not. Hebrews 11:6 Hell is just as real as Heaven. And every single person who is alive, who has ever been alive, and who will ever live~ have to make the decision of which they are going to choose.
Living in denial… pushing the thought of eternity out of our minds doesn’t make it disappear. It doesn’t take away our responsibilities. We will all be judged at the end of our lives. Romans 2:5-6; Revelation 22:14
God doesn’t want you to choose Hell. He is patient and long-suffering and gives us every opportunity to make the decision to follow Him. 2 Peter 3:9; I Timothy 2:3-4
Living a pleasing life isn’t a mystery that we have to try to unscramble. Eternal reward isn’t just available for a chosen few. He has clearly shown us the path through the words given to us in the Bible ~ we just have to take it. That doesn’t mean that it is an easy path… For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. Matthew 7:14 Taking the path to Heaven means that we have put away our selfish desires. We have to live pure and holy. We have to do good deeds for others. We have to study the Bible deeply… and interpret it correctly.
Sadly, there are many religious people that truly believe in their hearts that they are living right and that they are on the path to Heaven. But they have let other people’s wrong interpretations cloud their understanding of what the Bible says. They have the false hope that they are living right and will be in Heaven someday. It’s one of the saddest truths ~ because I don’t doubt their sincerity and zeal. That is why it is so important to study diligently… and with an open heart. It is difficult to see where we may be worshiping wrong. It is difficult to admit to being wrong. But it is vital to our lives. Matthew 7:21-23
Please open your hearts to think on these things. Open your Bibles and search out the truth for yourself. I want to be in Heaven with you.
Love
Chasity
