Many people do not believe in the hereafter. Their understanding of things does not allow for the notion that there is a God who has provided for His people in an eternal way. For them, life is to be lived, enjoyed and, at times, tolerated. They maintain that when we die…that’s all there is! We just simply cease to exist! “There is no hope beyond this world”, they would have
you believe. I would suggest that this thinking could not be further from the truth!
Jesus said, “In my father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.” John 14:2
In 2nd Corinthians 5:1 we read, “Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.”
The Bible is replete with evidentiary references to heaven as a real place to which all of God’s people go when passing through the portals of death. Death cannot hold us any more than it could hold Jesus!
As Jesus rose from the dead on the third day following His crucifixion, we too will be resurrected unto new life…life eternal.
The Bible tells us that, in heaven, there will be no more tears, no more suffering, and no more pain. No longer will our physical forms be constrained by space and time. We will be given a new body and we will live forever in the presence of our creator. As for those who do not believe, we will try to reach them and share with them this good news!
“Is that all there is?” I think not!
