Heaven.......will you be there?

Heaven......will you be there?

Maybe an odd topic for some, but as I was sitting in church the other night listening to Pastor Sexton preach about Heaven, I realized I had not talked about Heaven on my blog. Pastor made a comment like, if someone was going to Heaven, you would think they would talk about it every once in a while. Well, today is my day to talk about Heaven. Will you be there?

I know I will be there. How do I know you ask?

John 5:13
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

When I was a 4 year old child, the Holy Spirit allowed me to realize my wicked state! I can hear you now ask "How wicked can a 4 year old be?".

Romans 3:23

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

I was a sinner, even at 4 years old! Because I was a sinner, I was on my way to Hell!

Romans 6:23

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

I realized on October 26, 1980, that I was in need of a Saviour to save me from Hell! It is only by God's saving grace that we can enter Heaven. It is not the things that we do, because we are as filthy rags in the sight of God!!

Isaiah 64:6
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags;

It was on that night, that I prayed and asked Jesus to come into my heart and life and be my Saviour!

Romans 10:9
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

It is only because of Jesus' that I am saved. I didn't have to DO anything. I didn't have to keep asking Jesus to save me. I don't have to go to church or be a good person. I don't have to hope that one day my good will outweigh my bad, thus being allowed into Heaven! No, my friend, I KNOW that I am on my way to Heaven.

Titus 3:5
Not by works of righteousness which we have done,

but according to his mercy he saved us,

So, I am going to Heaven.........how about you?Romans 10:13
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
