“HE WAITS FOR ME IN HEAVEN”

That was the headline in the newspaper last Saturday. (Saturday, May 7, 2011 Weekend Herald)

If  you have read other posts on this blog you are not surprised, that I am very much interested in heaven. The reason is that I am heading for heaven. What are you heading for? Have you heard about D. L. Moody? I have. I have also read that his favourite sermon subject was “HEAVEN.”

The words “He waits for me in heaven” were spoken by a Manila-born catholic lady after her husband, who was also Manila-born, was killed by the 200km/h tornado that ripped through Albany at 3.15 pm in the north of Auckland here in New Zealand.

The lady  “is sure she will see her husband again.” That means that she is sure that her husband is in heaven and that she is also sure that she is also going to heaven. That means that she is sure that she is heading for heaven.

I don’t know who gives her the unshakable assurance of salvation.

But I do know who gives me the unshakable assurance of salvation. I know that I am heading for HEAVEN!

Let me tell you about it:

When the new birth happened in my life, when I came out of darkness into light, when  I came from death into life, the Bible became alive for me. Before that the Bible was like any other book. But now I understood what I  was reading.

I read these words in the Bible: “I write these things to you who believe in the Son of  God so that you may know that you have eternal life.” You find those words in First John 5:13 in the New Testament.

I believe in the Son of God and I know that I have eternal life! Hallelujah!

What about you?

In his letter to the Romans the apostle Paul is writing: “The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.” You find those words also in the New Testment in Romans 8:16!

Have you experienced that?

Question:

We are both true followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. Do I recognize you and do you recognize me in HEAVEN?

What does the Bible, the Word of the Living God say?
