Heaven Is Our Eternal Home
Destination: Heaven
“Are we there yet?”
I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who, as a child, asked their parents that question during a long family road trip.
Those road trips seemed to stretch on and on for miles, didn’t they?
Remember how happy we were when we finally got to where we were going?
Heaven is our Eternal Home
How much more wonderful will it be when we, as believers who trust in Jesus Christ as Savior, will live in Heaven with Him forever.
The main reason why I write this blog is because I love to encourage people about what’s in store for those of us who love Jesus.
Why should we delight in God?
Because Heaven is our eternal home.
We have so much to look forward to!
Like this:
Most people know that we’ll worship God in Heaven. But they don’t grasp how thrilling that will be. Multitudes of God’s people—of every nation, tribe, people, and language—will gather to sing praise to God for His greatness, wisdom, power, grace, and mighty work of redemption (Revelation 5:13-14). Overwhelmed by His magnificence, we will fall on our faces in unrestrained happiness and say, “Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!” (Revelation 7:9-12).1 – Randy Alcorn, Bible teacher and author.
And this . . .
I love these reassuring words from Bible teacher, Dr. Ed Hindson.
Heaven is Beautiful
Have you read some of the descriptions of Heaven in the Bible?
As beautiful and magnificent as Heaven is, now hold onto this, nothing will surpass seeing Jesus face-to-face for eternity.
We’ll be in the presence of our Redeemer and King!
We can only imagine for now, right?
My hope is that we can all grasp the magnitude of the blessings in store for us.
Do you know who Fanny Crosby is?
She’s a well-known composer who wrote many wonderful gospel hymns back in the 1800s. A little research, and I found this jewel of a story about her.
