What if we knew beyond the shadow of doubt that heaven is real?

Our lives will instantly change. Imagine, if on Jan 1st of 2012, you will receive $1 billion in prize money from a lottery, would that not change how you will live in the next week?

We will be far more generous.
We will be far more carefree.
We will take a lot more risks!
We will no longer be so concerned about our finances.
We will no longer worry so much about our health.
We will no longer feel stressed by the rat race we are in at work.

All if we truly believed heaven is real.

But the reason why our lives haven’t changed so dramatically is because we DO doubt the existence of heaven.

The only one who could tell us authoritatively about heaven is the one who came from heaven itself. And that is what Jesus claimed. And to back up His claim, He claimed some other things that are verifiable. For example, He claimed that He will die and He will rise again in 3 days. If He can beat death, then we can trust that He is truly Lord. And that is what we believe historically and physically happened.

Heaven is not a wishful thinking.
Heaven is not escapism.
Heaven is not a fairy tale.
Heaven is not for the weak minded who can’t accept reality.

It was declared by One who physically rose from the dead to prove what is real!

What if heaven was truly real? What if we have absolute confidence that it is going to be reality for those who put their trust in Christ?

That gives this world meaning.
That gives our pain and suffering hope.
That leads us to live this life for the One who made it possible.
That makes us want to bring as many as we can with us.

Ps 100:1, “Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is god. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.”

All your pains, worries, sufferings, and tears will go away. Just hang on…
