Heaven is a Wonderful Place

A very beloved man in our church went to Heaven today. He had been experiencing chest pains the past few weeks and had successfully had stints inserted into his arteries earlier this week. This good man spent the last couple of days at home enjoying time with his wife yet unexpectedly entered Heaven early this morning.

My husband and I were so encouraged by the strength of a wife who has only hours ago lost her husband and a daughter who has lost her dad. Although both shed tears of grief for their loss, they know he is in Heaven enjoying his new body and meeting his Saviour.

“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” (Revelation 21:4 KJV)

"When the time comes for you to die, you need not be afraid, because death cannot separate you from God's love."-Charles Spurgeon

We are so blessed with the most wonderful promise of Heaven at the end of this life. I love being a Christian and knowing that one day I will be joining my loved ones in Heaven for eternity.

Heaven is a wonderful place,
Filled with Glory and Grace,
I want to see my Savior’s face;
Heaven is a wonderful place.

The Most Important Thing You Can Know!

Do you know where you will spend eternity one day? If not, here's how you can know:

1. Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." The Bible says we are all sinners. Sin is hereditary--we were all born sinners because Adam and Eve disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden.
2. Romans 6:23 says, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." A wage is a payment. We must pay for our sins and they way we pay is by death. Everyone is born once, and everyone must die once. But the story doesn't end there--Jesus, God's only Son died on the cross for our sin and paid the penalty for us. All we have to do accept the gift of salvation. We can't work for it, go to church for it, or be good for it. Faith in Christ alone is what will save us.
3. Romans 10:9 says, "But if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." If you know that you are a sinner and that Jesus died on the cross, was buried, and resurrected--and if you know that He did that for YOU, all you have to do is ask Him to come into your heart and save you.
4. If you would like to accept Christ, just ask him now--it's the difference between Heaven and Hell.
