There is coming a
day..........for all the saved. If you are saved, you will go to
Heaven. You may go in the Rapture (caught up to the cloud with Jesus) or you may
go by way of death. Enoch and Elijah went by Translation (taken up by God).
Nothing is impossible with God. There is nothing sweeter than to know you will
be with those you loved who have died and gone to Heaven. I believe without a
doubt we will know those who have gone before us. The Bible tells us He will
give us a body that pleases Him. (1 Cor. 15:38) We shall be like Him. (1 John
3:2 Ps. 17:15)
He promised to give us eternal life. (1 John 2:25 1 John
5:11,13,20) Jesus gave us word in His Holy Scriptures to love everyone. Love is
the reason.. Love is the answer why God sent His Son that we might have eternal
life. Love is a person who wants to take care of an older man or woman in poor
health. If we do not love, it is evidence we don't love God. If we are filled
with love, then there is no room for evil. Jesus would not let Peter be in
charge until assured his love for the sheep. (John 21:15,16,17) We must shun all
appearances of evil, even though we cannot avoid evil people. Walk away from
dirty jokes. All things will work for good to those that love God. And if you
love God, you must love His Son Jesus. The two are one.
Love will make you feel better. Don't take
love for granted, be sincere, true love is God. When we do good for God, it
expresses our love for Him in giving His Son.
Be constant in prayer. Pray without ceasing (Keep our hearts and mind centered
on God). Contribute to the needy, practice hospitality. Love will make us see
God in others. Knowledge makes us proud, love builds us up. Paul says if we
speak without love, we are as sounding brass or tinkling cymbals. (Loud at
first, then fades away. (1 Cor. 13:1) Love is greater than faith, hope. (1 Cor.
13:13) Paul says we are nothing without love. (1 Cor. 13:2)
We will also know the false prophets are if we read our Bibles. We
will if we love God. And love is strong as death. It cannot be evaded by man.
Solomon tells us that many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods
drown it. (Song of Solomon 8:7) Love can not be bought for money or gifts,
it has to be from the heart.
"For God so loved the world,.." That little word so
is big in meaning, completely, above measure,
abundantly, etc.
