Is there a Heaven? Death and the afterlife; life after life. None of us really know exactly what Heaven is really like. Except
Eternal life with God will be a joy that defies description and exceeds our
imagination. John, Jesus disciple, wrote, He (God) will wipe all tears from their eyes, and there will be no more death, suffering, crying, or pain. (Revelation 21:4)
People are also timid in coming to God because they tend to think that God is a God of Karma and hell treat them with what they deserve. (Karma ensures that when you do good things, youll receive goodness in return, and if you do bad or sin, youll receive badness in return.) While preparing this article a lady asked me, What are you doing? Im writing an article on Heaven, I explained. Oh, she replied, Im not good enough to go to Heaven! None of us are good enough to go to Heaven. We go to Heaven because of Gods grace. We read previously that God sits on a throne of grace! Grace means undeserved, unmerited blessing or favour. God does not want to give you what you deserve. He wants to bless you with all that you need in this life and in the afterlife! When you feel most sinful and unworthy and are sure you dont deserve help, thats the time to come boldly to Gods throne of grace not the throne of Karma and futility. My God will never treat you and me according to what we deserve, but only according to the richness of his wonderful grace. This resembles a doorway that invites us to go in. Secondly, other people dont come boldly to God because deep down, they feel that they dont need God. Some believe that if they live a good life they will go to Heaven. Living the good life means different things to different people. Some people believe that the good life is attainable through the simple pleasures of life, the compassionate deeds you perform, the personal goals you achieve and the relationships you nurture.
I have asked others what they mean by a good life and they indicate that living a good life is following a set of morals. The fact is, the Bible says we cannot earn our way into Heaven. Humans, without the Spirit of God, would be like fish out of water, with no capacity to live in and enjoy Heaven. John chapter 3, verse 5-6, is clear: I tell you for certain that before you can get into Gods kingdom, you must be born not only by water, but by the Spirit. Humans give life to their children. Yet only Gods Spirit can change you into a child of God. God, in his love, has made provision through Jesus death on the cross for all to become his child and have eternal life. You can be sure of eternal life and your place in Heaven today. Click here to find out how!
