“For we know that if our earthly house if this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heaven” 2 Corinthians 5: 1
The hope of every believe should transcend earthly gains
and materialism, which seem to be the focus of many modern-day gospel preachers. Inspired by the Holy Spirit. Paul the Apostle wrote:”If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable” 1Corinthians 15:19.
This should prompt us to make heaven our primary goal at all times.
Heaven is the abode of the Almighty God, the city of the angels and of the saints. The glory of heaven is unfathomable and its beauty is beyond comparison. Thus, there must be adequate preparation in order to get there.
There must be separation from sin, worldly allurement and all appearances of evil. There must be daily victorious Christian living, watchfulness and endurance to be able to make it to the glorious abode, “But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved” Matthew 24:13.
