Summary: Introduction to Heaven after church family has multiple losses
I don’t know everything about heaven. I don’t know what all we’ll do. I don’t know what all we’ll wear or everywhere we will go, but I do know this, my Savior will be there, and that’s enough for me.
Heaven is a great place. It is beyond our imagination, and there is only one way to get there, and that is through a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. In John 14:6 Jesus says,
> John 14:6 . . . “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
Sir, Ma’am, there is nothing you can do to get to this wonderful place apart from Jesus Christ. You cannot attend church enough. You cannot give enough. You cannot serve enough. There is nothing you can do to get to heaven apart from having a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Have you trusted in Jesus Christ? Have you made Him your Lord and Savior? Becoming a flower of Jesus Christ is not walking an aisle. It’s not praying a prayer. It is repenting of your sins and placing all of your hope and all of your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Becoming a follower of Jesus Christ
> Luke 13:5 Expect ye repent ye shall all perish.
Admit that you have sinned
> Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and fall short of the[a] glory of God;
> Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Believe in Jesus Christ
> Romans 10:23 If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Confess your sins
> 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Ask Jesus to become the Lord of your life.
> Revelation 3:20 Behold I stand at the door and knock, if anyone hears my voice and opens the door I will come into him and dine with him and sup with him and he with Me.
Will you give your life to Jesus today?
Oh my friend, heaven is a great place.
If You Could See Me Now
Don Moen
Our prayers have all been answered
I finally arrived
The healing that had been delayed
Is now realized
No one's in a hurry
There's no schedule to keep
We're all enjoying Jesus
Just sitting at His feet
If you could see me now
I'm walking streets of gold
If you could see me now
I'm standing tall and whole
If you could see me now
You'd know I've seen His face
My light and temporary trials
Have worked out for my good
To know it brought Him glory
When I misunderstood
Though we've had our sorrows
They can never compare
To what Jesus has in store for us
No language can share
If you could see me now
You'd know the pain's erased
You wouldn't want me
To ever leave this place
If only you could see me now
