Do you believe in heaven and hell? The Bible, the holy inspired word of God, provides us in numerous places that both exist. And one day our physical life on this earth will end and we will exist eternally in one or the other. Heaven and hell do not exist as the intangible, supernatural, spiritual, I-heard-about-it-in-church or read-it-in-a-book kind of way. They are physical, geographical locations. They are places that one day each of us must go. We have the opportunity today to pick where we will spend eternity. How do you pick? You pick by choosing to believe in the cross; by choosing to believe in Jesus as your Saviour. But don't stop there. Choose to live out a relationship with Him by yielding your life to Him. By choosing these, you will live your remaining physical years on this earth in freedom and with peace and joy, and you will spend eternity in a place where there is no more pain, no more suffering, no more tears. When you live your life as a follower of Jesus, you will have a confident hope that your eternity is secure in heaven. Isn't that where you want to spend forever?
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the Christians who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever. I Thessalonians 4:16 - 17
