Is Heaven real for you? That may seem like an odd question, but our belief in Heaven changes how we view everything in life. How we view time changes because we realize that one day we will be without time, and therefore, we use every moment we have for eternal things. The way we view suffering changes as we understand that it is nothing compared to the glories of Heaven that await each believer. We view death with earnestness, but we do not fear because we know that death is simply the doorway to our Heavenly home.

Here's the second question, "How do we make Heaven real in our lives?" This one is simple. Read the Bible and believe in what God has told us about Heaven. It speaks of streets of gold, gates of pearls & the removal of all pain, yet the most exciting thing about Heaven is the presence of Jesus Himself. He will dwell with us forever. What a glorious reality. Friend, if you allow that Truth to sink into your heart, it will change your life forever.

Life Lesson: Believing in Heaven is important, central, and mission-critical for the followers of Jesus.

Dear God,
Thank You for the promise of Heaven. Your Word tells us about an amazing place filled with goodness, love, and our family and friends. Most of all, Heaven is where You will be with us, face to face, forever. Please help me to understand this more and more every day, and help the reality of Heaven stir me up into passionate evangelism so that others can join me there.
In Jesus' name. Amen.
