One of my favorite portions of Scripture is John 14:1-6. I would encourage you to take the time and read all 6 verses.
All around us in the world we see reasons to be worried and troubled. Sickness and hatred, disease and difficulty are widespread. Yet these things are not new. They have been part of life ever since the fall of man recorded in Genesis 3. They were present in Jesus’ day as well. And the night before He was to go to the cross to shed His precious blood for our sins, Jesus told His disciples not to worry – not because nothing would ever go wrong, but because there was a promised place and a guaranteed future waiting for them. Every person who puts their complete faith and trust in Christ alone as their Savior has the hope of Heaven before him.
Dr. Lee Roberson wrote, “Heaven is a promised place. Heaven is an assured place. Heaven is a place beyond the dreams of men. I have preached about Heaven for almost eighty years. The promises of God have never lost their precious appeal. Heaven is eternity. Heaven is real. Heaven is God Himself.”
This present world is not all there is. We, as true believers have a home with God waiting for us that can never be lost or taken away. We have a settled and certain future that is guaranteed for all eternity!
It is no wonder that the world lives with doubt and worry. They have nothing that is truly reliable and dependable. Every human source of comfort and security can be lost. Only the Divine promise of a prepared place (Heaven) offers us an unshakable source of peace. Only the hope of Heaven lets us keep our hearts from being troubled.
When our focus is on Heaven rather than the things of this world, we need not live with worry and fear as our constant companions.
So I ask you, “Have you cried out to Jesus for the forgiveness of your sins and invited Him into your heart as Lord and Savior?”
The Bible says, “Believe on the Lord Jesus and you will be saved.”
Have you believed on Jesus only for your salvation? He’s the only way to God (John 14:6).
In these uncertain and troubled days, have you made your reservation to Heaven. I pray you have! Time is short, Jesus may come for His bride, the church TODAY! You need to be ready. Are you ready?
