Eternity not as we think
We are so fun and familiar with the word "Heaven". With no atom of doubt, we can easily accept that heaven is a place made for the righteous, place for the saints whose hands are clean, not just their hands but their hearts are pure before God and man.
We ought to have this at all corner of our hearts, our mindsets, actions, thoughts are one of the criteria that determine how much of our chances if what we believe is really true eternity. It is more easier to mention or say about eternity but not all seek the deepest truth about their true state about eternity.
In our society, we can rarely see that our society despise and hate the word "truth". Though there are others who claim that heaven and hell do not exist but they are farce created by humans to scare children for doing wrong yet evil keep on swelling and growing like the belle of a pregnant woman waiting for the time of her delivery.
They said Heaven or Hell are farce bud a farce. My question becomes, since it's a farce to keep off children from doing wrongs, why is evil becoming norms in our society today?
One thing we should know about heaven is based on truth as Jesus has said, "Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free". John 8:32 NIV
Let's consider this: One day we were born into this world,we live a little while then we die. Some at dawn, some at noon and some in their ripen full age. Have you ever considered why we ever come to this world then die and not to be remembered.
Job 14:1-2,10 " mortals born of woman,are of few days and full of trouble. They spring up like to flowers and wither away like fleeing shadows, they do not endure. But man dies and is laid low,he breathes his last and is no more.
Through the above passage we can see how Job described the life of humans. Just few many were not able to live or outlive the years their forefathers had lived.
We merry as we live just a short life and after that life, what next? Our eternity is based on the kind of life we have lived here on earth. We can base on our actions on truth and that truth is what makes our life to be free from the wrath of God.
We go to church everyday, read our Bible, hear messages on the streets, buses; they bear witnesses against us if we live contrary to God's standard. Whether it is good or bad we will give account of our deeds on earth.
Napoleon Hill said: " Nature cannot be tricked or cheated. She will give to you the object of your struggles only after you have paid the price." You can if have enemity with God as a time desire to be in heaven, it cannot work. Heaven are made for those who are righteous, for the saints, men who hearts are clean before God. Judgment await those who does evil, those who never believe (on his son) in him or accept his existence.
There are people who said it doesn't matter,does heaven permit that, will God listen to our excuses?
