What If The Good Things That You Did Will Turn Into Treasures In Heaven?
“Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” Matthew19:21, NIV Jesus gave this instruction to a rich man who wanted to receive eternal life. He simply taught him to gather treasures not here on earth but in heaven. After this, Jesus invited him to come and follow him. For this rich man, his wealth somehow gave him the temporary security that he wanted. But despite the earthly possessions that he gained, his heart is still longing for something that this world can never give. He is still looking for something…

For this is what the Lord has commanded us: “I have made you a light for the gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’” Acts 13: 47, NIV Jesus didn’t just give the Israelites a chance to experience eternity, but the light was also made for the Gentiles.

The Best Gift that you can Receive
There’s this gift that God wants us to receive. It looks simple and ordinary, but in reality, it is so expensive. It’s something that the world can never give. It’s something that comes from heaven. This gift will take you to eternity. But the sad truth is not everyone is willing to receive this precious gift. Some would hesitate. Maybe because they are scared that it might fail them in the end. Maybe they just don’t have the faith to receive it, just like how a kid would welcome a new friend. This gift is so valuable. It was bought at a price that we could never repay. He is…

Acts 4:12, NIV
Jesus is “‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’ Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12, NIV Salvation is found only in the arms of Jesus. He is the One who has given us the chance to experience eternal life. Some Jews and Pharisees may reject Him, but He became the cornerstone. He became the hope of this world. Through His suffering on the cross and the precious blood that was showered upon us, we are now washed from our impurities and made whole. And everyone who believes…

Heaven is not the Goal
Sometimes, we are so obsessed with heaven that we no longer remember the reason why it even exists in the first place. We are too caught up in finding the perfect place where we can find rest and peace. It became a goal that we needed to reach. It’s like looking forward to the reward and just forgetting about the purpose of why that reward even exists. We do things because we want to live there and not because we want to be with the Creator Himself. Heaven is not the goal. It’s just a manifestation of your relationship with God. So try to ask yourself: Why do you want…

John 14:6 , NIV
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14: 6, NIV We can never connect to our Heavenly Father without the precious blood of Jesus. Remember that He is so holy and divine. We can’t simply come to Him just by relying on our own works.
