What is heaven? A place created by God for his children, you and I. A place where everything thing is perfect. No pain, tears, no death, nor mourning.
We had that once. And then, with a bite of an apple, whew ---- gone!
We also know that heaven has no place for cowards, the unfaithful, the depraved, murders, the unchaste, sorcerers, idol-worshipers, and deceivers of every sort (see Revelations 21:8). Do you know what their lot in life is? Ah man, their lot is in the burning pool of fire and sulfur, which is the second death – uuggghh that’s way too ugly a death for anyone – especially you!
What’s my point? We have choices. Perhaps we are not living a life that falls under such grave descriptions, however, many of us can perhaps falls under the categories of cowards and unfaithful, idol-worshipers and deceivers. Wooohh, I know the truth hurts doesn’t it.
Hey, but once again there is great news! We can change! HOW?
Love God above all people and material things. For starters, love God more than fame, a celebrity, houses, cars and more than money. Don’t stop there, that’s just scratching the surface. You might sit down one day (uuummmmhhh, how about today?) and make of list of things that you just loooovvveee (idiolize)! Take some time and put your life into perspective, heaven or burning pool of fire. I don’t know, you decide.
If you lost your life tomorrow, today, or in 5 minutes where would you be? Listed by your deeds in the book of life or, well, I think you know.
In Revelation 20:6 it says that in the second resurrection, those who will be raised will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him. Whooaa, hello, that could be you! Why?
You are a priest for God. How? When Jesus gave his life for us, he freed us from our sins by his blood. Therefore, making us into a kingdom, priests for his God and Father (Revelation 1:6). Did you know that we are also called ambassadors for Christ!
So now that you know who you are, how are you upholding that title? Will you live the rest of your life imitating Jesus Christ and securing your place in heaven or are you comfy with the thought of living with the dude with the horns and being tormented day and night forever and ever?
Yes, I hear you, Heaven!!!! Heaven is the ultimate! Where shall we start? How about on this earth in which we live? How can we make this the heaven it was designed to be? Well, we all know we can’t change the world, but we can change ourselves.
Do some soul searching, makes some changes, be a model for others to imitate. Change happens one person at a time.
Huh, I am ambassador for Christ! I am special! Yes you are!
Inspired by Luke 13:18-21
He said therefore, “What is the kingdom of God like? And to what should I compare it? It is like a mustard seed that someone took and sowed in the garden; it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air made nests in its branches”. And again he said, “To what should I compare the kingdom of God? It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed in with three measures of flour until all of it was leavened.”
