Is Heaven Real?
/
On one hand my answer is simple, I don’t really know! I mean
who does really know for sure, I mean really! How can we, you can’t vacation there
and return with pictures to tell about it. People have claimed to have died and
gone to Heaven and then returned to write a book about it. I am not saying that
it didn’t happen or that it’s not true, I am just sayin. They can’t prove they
went to Heaven, and no one can prove they didn’t. So, is Heaven real?
Let me start with the question; is Heaven Real? Yes, I do believe
that it is. I believe in a literal Heaven, a place you go to after death. I
believe it is a place that God prepared for us by His own hands (obviously His
creative power of words, not that He actually swung a hammer and handled a saw,)
and that Jesus died to get us there. I can’t upload pictures of Heaven to my
instagram or faecbook, but there are ancient manuscripts (The Bible) that give
some insights to what Heaven will be like. But it only gives us a glimpse, it’s
definitely not conclusive. It’s a place
that I am sure will surprise, and amaze every minute we are there!
WHAT HEAVEN WON’T BE
I truly believe that Heaven will not be a place we float
around while singing worship songs written by Hillsong (I love Hillsong songs,
I’m just sayin!) Honestly, I love Jesus with all my heart, but I don’t want to
do that!
TO THE POINT
I believe that Heaven will be basically a place where all
that is will be good, pleasing, healthy, whole, loving, forgiving, etc. All
things good. A place absent of all evil, and all that comes with evil. Now, on
all the other questions about sex, marriage, kids, etc. I don’t know for sure, but I believe that
Heaven will be must like our existence now, but again, just absent all things
bad. Heaven will be full of all that God intended! Nothing will be broken or
out of place. No pain. No heartache. No death. No Loss. No lies. Only peace.
Only goodness. Only love. A perfect place!
WHAT ABOUT HERE AND NOW
As you know, our world – here and now – is broken. We are a broken people, and earth is broken
too. We can do and should do all that we can to “save the planet” but more
importantly we should do all that we can to “save our lives.” Jesus is the one who
can help us put the broken pieces of our life together. I challenge you to
trust in Him today!
