Many when asked are you going to Heaven when you die say I hope so…

Many when asked are you going to Heaven when you die say I hope so…

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy begat us again unto a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, who by the power of God are guarded through faith unto a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time...1 Peter 1:3-5.


And every one that hath this hope set on him purifieth himself, even as he is pure...1 John 3:3.


For in hope were we saved: but hope that is seen is not hope: for who hopeth for that which he seeth? But if we hope for that which we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. And in like manner the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity: for we know not how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered; and he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God...Romans 8:24-27.

 

Hanging on patiently every day in Christ Jesus our Lord

We have an eternal hope of living in Christ here on earth and when we die in heaven above. Hope has two ingredients a desire and an expectation. We desire heaven and its rewards and expect by our faith to receive an entrance into Heaven. Our faithful obedience to the word of God increases our hope of rewards. We can know we have loved God and our neighbor by our deeds and prayers. Are you a living hope of entering into heaven? Many say when asked are you going to heaven I hope so. This does not disqualify our faith in our obedience to Jesus but by the desire and expectation we wait for our Lord to return in Judgement or our death to depart and be with Him.

Walk by faith not by sight...

We walk by faith and not by sight…

For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but so to think as to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to each man a measure of faith...Romans 12:3

 

I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ liveth in me: and that life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me...Galatians 2:20.

 

if so be that ye continue in the faith, grounded and stedfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel which ye heard, which was preached in all creation under heaven; whereof I Paul was made a minister...Colossians 1:23.

 

Hereby we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and do his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. For whatsoever is begotten of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that hath overcome the world, even our faith. And who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God...1 John 5:2-5.

 

Faith is rooted in the death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Our belief that God has sent His only Son to be a forever atoning sacrifice for our sins and the work Jesus did on the cross cause us to change and become like God. We learn a way of truth telling and begin practicing the truth we have revealed to us through faith in Jesus and what is written in the New Testament of Christ. This faith of living and breathing for God and His Son Jesus changes our day-to-day life. Each of us can call on God and find faith in our daily activities. May we each learn to exercise faith and practice the truth revealed to us.

 

Prayer

Father please give us more faith and reveal more truth and meet our soul’s deepest needs as we learn to obey You and Your only Son Jesus teachings in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Walk in the fear of God…not men…

Walk in the fear of God…not men…

So then, my beloved, even as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who worketh in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure...Philippians 2:12-13. Servants, be obedient unto them that according to the flesh are your masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; not in the way of eyeservice, as men-pleasers; but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; with good will doing service, as unto the Lord, and not unto men: knowing that whatsoever good thing each one doeth, the same shall he receive again from the Lord, whether he be bond or free...Ephesians 6:5-8.

 

Wherefore Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, And touch no unclean thing; And I will receive you, And will be to you a Father, And ye shall be to me sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty...2 Corinthians 6:17-18. Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God...2 Corinthians 7:1.

 

And be not afraid of them that kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? and not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father: but the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. Every one therefore who shall confess me before men, him will I also confess before my Father who is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in heaven...Matthew 10:28-33.

 

I have heard it explained that F.E.A.R. = False Evidence Appearing Real. You ever been where following God seemed like it would end badly? If you ever find yourself in these circumstances then Fear God and keep His commandments…Be not wise in thine own eyes; Fear Jehovah, and depart from evil: It will be health to thy navel, And marrow to thy bones...Proverbs 3:7-8. We must remain faithful in the fear of death and never deny our Lord and Master Jesus Christ of Nazareth. So do not deny Jesus but confess Him before men and it will bless you.

 

Prayer

Father please help us to work out our salvation even with the Spirit of Fear of You so we can remain faithful to Your Only Son Jesus and meet our soul’s deepest needs and heal our soul’s deepest wounds In Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
