I'll keep this blog short in hopes that you'll stick with me till the end of it. I think that the truth that life on this side is so short hit me this year, more than ever.
So many people talk about Heaven but I wonder how many have secured their spot.
Heaven is an actual place that the Bible promises us. Eternity with Christ is the promise for those who believe in Christ. Revelation 21: 2-4 paints such a beautiful picture of what life with Christ will be like.
If that's your desire, it's quite simple to do and the greatest and best decision you'll ever make.
The Bible tells us that if we confess with our mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in our hearts that God hath raised Him from the dead, then we will be saved. (Romans 10:9).
Here's how:
- Know that we all fall short of God's glory in that we are all sinners. And that Christ, who knew no sin, became sin and died for our sins, on the cross. On the third day, He rose again. Conquering sin, the cross and death, so, that we might live on this side of life victorious in Him, and also that our home in eternity with Him would be secured.
I don’t ever want to live life unsure of where my eternity lies.
Here’s a simple prayer that you can pray and believe in your heart to secure your hope in Jesus:
“Lord, it’s me. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. I believe that you are Lord and that you rose on the third day, so that I might rise too, in this life and my next when you have my soul. Today, right now, I believe in my heart that you’ve risen, come into my heart and live. Thank you for dwelling on the inside of me. Thank you for loving me. God, thank you for your Son. In Jesus Name, I pray and believe these things. Amen”
That’s the gospel, friends. God loved us so much that He gave His one and only Son, Jesus Christ, for our sin and for reconciliation with Him, so that we would not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:16).
I don't know all there is to know about the Bible (its vastness is incredible) and everyday it seems like I tap into another knowing of how great God is. I don't understand the magnitude of his love, but I know it. I can't physical touch Him but, I can feel Him. And it's the sweetest Presence. I no longer try to rationalize with the mind, things only the heart knows. <3
I'm just here to tell you that God is real and He LOVES you. There is a Hell to shun and Heaven to gain. I hope this encourages your heart. To know that with Him, there is always more. Take His hand today, to know that your eternity will be with Him and that you can live a greater NOW in Him. And don’t worry about where you’re at in your walk with Christ. Him purifying your heart is a life- long process. He’ll continue to mold you if you just stay close (and even if you're far, He's able to get a hold of you). ️Revelations 3:20, tells us that if we seek God, He will dwell with us. Look up those scriptures, they will bless your heart. I love ya'll. I pray that you'd live your life knowing just how much God loves you.
With love,
