Heaven Is A Prepared Place

- But Only For -

A Prepared People!"


















Jesus saith unto him,

I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: 

no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.

John 14:6 


 The Apostle Thomas is being informed by

 our Lord Jesus Christ that He is the only way to get to Heaven.


Jesus continues:


And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, 

and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

John 14: 3


However the Apostle Paul informs us in II Thessalonians 1:7 the following:


When the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels,

In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, 

and that Obey Not The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.


The Apostle Paul continues to tell us what shall happen to those persons that do not

 know God and serve Christ as Saviour and Lord of their lives, and will not obey the gospel.


Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction 

from the presence of the Lord,

 and from the Glory of His Power. 


The Apostle Paul concludes with the reason for Christ's return:


When He shall come to be glorified in His saints, 

and to be admired in all them that believe.


Amos 4:12 tells us

Prepare to meet thy God!


Heaven is a prepared place

but only for a prepared people.

Are you preparing by obeying 

The Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ?


The only way you can is through daily faith 

and obedience to the revealed Word of God. 


  If you are not willing to serve our Lord Jesus Christ in this life, 

You will not have opportunity in the life to come.

It is either Eternal Life - Or Eternal Death.


Fear God, and keep His Commandments:

      for this is the whole duty of man.  

    Ecc 12:14  


 Jesus said: 

"If ye love Me

Keep My Commandments."

John 14:15

 

 These words of exhortation from 

Gods Word are for your good.


REPENT AN BELIEVE THE GOSPEL

Repent! That too was a part of the message of Jesus, as well as John the Baptist. That was the message that Israel couldn’t swallow because that affirms that they are poor prisoners, blind and oppressed as Jesus designated them in Luke 4:18 borrowing from Isaiah 61:1 that the gospel was going to be preached to the poor prisoners, blind and oppressed. It’s not talking about physical conditions, it’s talking about heart conditions, to those who realized they’re spiritually bankrupt, who realized they’re in prison to sin and death and judgment, who are blind to spiritual truth and who under the oppressive threat of eternal punishment. The gospel comes to those who recognize their horrendous spiritual condition, the deadly wrath of God about to fall on their heads. And the gospel says, “Repent, recognize your religious sins, your hypocrisy.” That’s what Jesus preached. That’s what John preached. That’s what the Apostles preached. That’s what all true Bible believing teachers preach, the whole counsel of God. We preach that sinners must repent, and only they that put their faith in Jesus Christ will enter in to the Kingdom of God wherein lies eternal salvation and eternal blessing under the sovereign rule of God. The Kingdom is only opened up to sinners that will repent and believe the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
