many people wonder is this all we have
to look forward to what will happen to
me after this is over this uncertainty
used to trouble me deeply it felt like I
was drowning in an ocean of my own
thoughts that’s the truth it felt like I
was drowning but in the ocean of my own
thoughts I found a lifeline and that
Lifeline was the Bible in the Bible I
met a man named Jesus my Lord what
amazed me about Jesus is that he lived
his whole life with the expectation hope
and motivation of one day returning to
heaven the Assurance of Heaven should
make a difference in our lives just as
it made a difference in the life of
Jesus you might say you cannot be sure
you’re going to Heaven until you die but
that’s not true people in the Bible knew
they were going to heaven our lord Jesus
did in John he said in my father’s
house are many mansions if it were not
so I would have told you I go to prepare
a place for you John knew he was going
to heaven John says beloved now we
are the children of God and it has not
yet been revealed what we shall be but
we know that when he is revealed we
shall be like him for we shall see him
as he is King David Israel’s greatest
King knew he was going to heaven
according to Psalms
surely goodness and mercy shall
follow me all the days of my life and I
will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever Paul knew he was going to heaven
in Timothy he says for I know
whom I have believed and am persuaded
that he is able to keep what I have
committed to him until that day there
are clear signs evidence and benefits
that demonstrate a Believer is saved and
on their way to heaven I believe that
God provides clear indicators to to
prove that a Believer is saved and
headed for heaven the Assurance of
Heaven begins on Earth the first
evidence that you are going to heaven is
that you have given your life to Christ
Ephesians – says for by Grace you
are saved through faith and that not of
yourselves it is the gift of God not of
Works lest anyone should boast salvation
is a gift and it is attained through
faith in the finished work of Christ you
cannot work your way into heaven if you
haven’t given your life to Christ you
cannot enter into the Kingdom of Heaven
Jesus said that unless a man is born
again he cannot see the kingdom of God
the second sign is that you become a
servant of God in John
Jesus said if anyone serves me let
him follow me and where I am there my
servant will be also if anyone serves me
him my father will honor when you give
your life to Christ a transformation
begins and you start to become a servant
of God you willingly submit to his
lordship and follow his commands you
understand that you are no longer your
own you belong to him this
transformation shows your obedience to
Christ’s lordship and it’s another sign
that you’re on your way to heaven the
third sign is a peaceful Heart John
– assures us let not your heart be
troubled you believe in God believe also
in me in my father’s house are many
mansions if it were not so I would have
told you I go to prepare a place for you
and if I go and prepare a place for you
I will come again and receive you to
myself that where I am there you may be
also when you have peace in your heart
it’s a clear sign that you have the
Assurance of Heaven you are not troubled
by the worries of this world because you
know that one day you will be with the
Lord in heaven this kind of peace is
exclusive to Believers and it is one
more indication that you are on your way
to heaven the Bible also promises that
we will see God Revelation says and
I heard a loud voice from the throne
saying look God’s dwelling place is now
among the people and He will dwell with
them they will be his people and God
himself will be with them and be their
God you will finally get to see the God
who protected you and provided for you
during your time on Earth what a
glorious day it will be when we get to
see our creator our true father and
realize that he was always there for us
we will look back and see his hand in
every moment of Our Lives we may feel
emotions we’ve never felt before when we
stand before him in All His glory as
Christians we have the peace that
surpasses all understanding and we have
the Assurance of Heaven the Troubles of
this world will not trouble us because
we know that we have heaven to look
forward to so let your heart be at peace
and remember that this world is not your
home one day you will go to be with the
king in heaven where you will have no
more reason to
cry
Amen
