Our Eternal Home
The Bible is clear that those who hear God’s
Word and believe in Jesus will have eternal
life. Furthermore, the Scriptures tell us that
we will spend that eternity with God in
heaven.
The New Testament contains approximately 200
references to heaven, most of which are from
the teachings of Jesus Himself. Obviously, the
topic was quite important to our Savior; why,
then, do we often fail to talk about it
ourselves?
Sadly, one reason we ignore the subject is
that we simply feel too satisfied here on
earth. Maybe we think we have it pretty good—a
loving family, a stable job, a nice home.
Surrounded by such comfort, it can seem hard
to imagine an even better place.
Other people, however, do not have it so easy
here on earth. They are the ones who most
easily grasp the concept of heaven. They are
the individuals who live their lives in need,
nursing the belief that heaven will supply all
that they lack.
You see, it is rarely our desperation that
makes it difficult to envision our heavenly
home; rather, our success is often the
greatest obstacle to a desire for heaven—where
we belong. We can become so distracted by
earthly things that we grow blind to the
spiritual reality of eternal life. Why don’t
we think more about heaven? Very simply, it is
because many of us don’t want to go yet!
What in your life is obstructing the view of
your heavenly home? Jesus has gone before us
to prepare our eternal dwelling. Don’t let
anything dim your vision of the excellent
future home awaiting you.
DO YOU ?
Do you ever feel
discouraged and dissatisfied? Do you ever have
feelings of unrest and fear of the future?
Does the thought of death and the hereafter
haunt you?
YOU ARE
Are you
looking for an unconditional love? Someone who
accepts you where you are and loves you no
matter what? Look no further than a personal
relationship with Jesus Christ.
Cast all your anxiety on him because he
cares for you.
1 Peter 5:7 NIV
Never let the enemy tell
you that you re worthless or insignificant.
You have value in the eyes of God so great
that it was worth dying for. You are a
blessing to the world.
Did you know God's
forgiveness and unconditional love is
available for anyone who asks?

decision to accept Christ as Lord
