“Destination Heaven”

“If you read history you will find that the

Christians who did the most for the present

world were just those who thought most of

the next.

It is since Christians have largely ceased to

think of the other world that they have

become so ineffective in this.” (C.S. Lewis)

Men’s Knowledge 

“One day he (Einstein) was interacting with some of his brighter

students about God and whether or not he

exists.

Einstein then asked them this provocative question: “What

percentage of the total knowledge of the

universe do you suppose we now possess?”

They gave him various

estimates averaging

around 2%.

The old physicist replied, “I think your guesses are high, but I will accept the

figure of 2%. Now tell me, what are the chances

that God exists in the other 98%?”

Built by God 

“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.” (Jn. 14:2, KJV)

“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.” (2 Cor. 5:1)

“For he was looking forward to the city with foundations,

whose architect and builder is God.”

(Heb. 11:10)

“Instead, they were longing for a better

country--a heavenly one. Therefore God is not

ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared

a city for them.” (Heb. 11:16)

Matthew 13:44-46 

“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a

field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.”

"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant

looking for fine pearls. When he found one of

great value, he went away and sold everything he

had and bought it.”

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that

hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the

race marked out for us.

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and

perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him

endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne

of God.

Consider him who endured such

opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. (Heb. 12:1-3)

“But our citizenship is in heaven. And we

eagerly await a Savior from there,

the Lord Jesus Christ” (Phil. 3:20)

“Dearly beloved, I beseech you as

strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly

lusts, which war against the soul”

(1 Peter 2:11)
