DO YOU DREAM ETERNITY?

And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as He is pure.”
1 John 3:3
Main Text:

Child of God, one of the ways to prepare for heaven is making it your focus and being excited about going there. Have you noticed how excited children are when they are going on vacation to a place they’ve never been to? They ask endless questions because they want to have a picture of where they are going and have an idea of what awaits them before they even set out. That should be the attitude of every Christian with regards to heaven. When last did you think of what heaven looks like? Have you ever asked yourself such questions as: Will there be a long line of people waiting to ask Moses about his experience at the Red Sea? At what point will I get to meet Enoch? How noisy will heaven be, with millions of us arriving at the same time? How will I recognize the prophet Samuel? Thinking such about heaven is a little but practical thing that could help anyone become excited, and of, course, the more excited you are, the more you will be challenged to do everything to get there.

If your mind is focused on making heaven and you have a hope of spending eternity there with the Lord, you will want to keep yourself pure (1Timothy 5:22), God cannot admit sinners into His home. Ecclesiastes 9:4 says that to him that is joined to all the living there is hope. Since you are still alive, you have an opportunity to amend your ways and begin to walk in the path of righteousness. Search the Bible and find out what God wants you to do and what He wants you to avoid. Obey His word – that is what righteousness is all about.

Also, we should not just be satisfied with making it to heaven – we should work hard for Him here on earth so that we will not go to meet Him with empty hands

Prayer: My hope is built on You O Lord.
