Is Heaven For You?

Good Morning!! Learning about life after death is almost useless,...if we're not getting ready to stand before the judgment seat of God. Those who haven't received Jesus Christ, as Savior and Lord, are like the prodigal son,...who was lost and dead in sin. When we give our lives to Jesus, we are found! But as wonderful as heaven will be,...our ticket to heaven must be punched on this side of death. We don't know when our lives will end, or when Christ will return,...so we should not miss the urgency of the moment.

But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.—Luke 15:32 (NIV)

If you are reading this devotional as a once lost son or daughter who has come to life and has been found by the grace of God, then let the love of Christ and the anticipation of heaven motivate you to reach out to those who are still lost. Sadly, we often act like the older brother, thinking that we have earned the father’s love and failing to give others a second chance. Churches can become inward focused rather than life-saving stations for those who desperately need Jesus.

Heaven is for believers.

Loving Father, thank You for making heaven possible for us all! Amen.

"If the Lord truly directs our steps, why would we need to understand every little thing along the walk."
