CAN WE ALL GET TO HEAVEN

By Irving Serrano

It is so unfortunate that families get to visit, and get together under sad, and difficult situations. Often times we have family, that live in a different state, so we miss spending time with them. Then suddenly you get called, and a member of your family has passed away. This is hard for anyone, to cope with. Prayers are said, and you get to hear people talk about God, and heaven. As for the true believer, we feel the pain, we feel the lost, we even hold a little bit of selfishness, in the sense that we wanted our love one to stay with us. But we find solace in Christ. We are content with the reality that this apparent lost, is merely a validation. The confirmation of going to be with the Lord. Alot of people don`t understand the truth about Heaven, or the Kingdom of God. Yet, it is the central theme of the Bible, and truly the best news the World can hear. Almost 2,000 years ago, a prophet came bringing a vital message for the world.(Mark 1:14) That prophet was Jesus Christ, and his message was the Gospel. (meaning good news). As true believers, we need to cling to Gods word, not just because it sounds good, but because it is real. (John 14:1-3) "Do not let your hearts be troubled, trust in God. Trust also in me. In my Fathers house are many rooms, if this were not so, I would have told you so. I go to prepare a place for you, so where ever I am, you also will be where I am". All throughout the Bible, we read about people dying. We also read of the miracles performed. In the story of Lazarus, He was brought back to life. Of course this was all part of Gods Divine plan. I am convinced that God also has a plan for you. If you are alive, and on this planet, you are very important to God. The wonderful reality is that you don`t even have to be an American citizen. The gospel of Christ, is for any Man, or Woman on this earth. The words salvation and heaven, go hand and hand. The believer is aware that at some point in their life we will die. Our bodies will return to the ground, and our spirit will go back to God. Solomon confirms this in (Ecclesiastes 12:7). When God first made Adam, Adam had a brain, but couldn't think. He had lungs, yet could not breath. He had muscles and could not move, until God breathed the breath of life into him.(Genises3:19) Just as He gives us life, in every new day we awake. We have the ability to" fear No evil", we walk through the shadow of death (Psalm 23). Yet at times we loose ourselves in the blessings He gives us, and forget Him, all together. We get to busy with our own what to do`s, we forget to pray. But God loves you unconditionally. Just as we love our own Children. He is ready to forgive you, for any transgressions. And He has a place for you in heaven, once your time on this earth is done. (Romans 14:8) If we live, we live to the Lord. If we die, we die to the Lord. So whether we live, or die. We belong to the Lord. When we all get to heaven, what a glory`est day it will be. May God bless you. Love always, Irving Serrano
