Imagine Heaven Sample
I am inviting you to come to heaven with me.
By Rev. Roger Woller
My dear friends, Do you want to come to heaven with me? I am inviting you to come to heaven with me.
Do you want to be in heaven where there is no pandemic? Covid? Covid shot? Sickness? Sadness? Tears of hurt? Pain? Anger? Painful labor? —none of these.
A place where there is nothing bad, only perfection? No falseness, only truth? No unfaithfulness, only faithfulness? No disrespect, only respect? No dissatisfaction, only satisfaction?
I could go on and on in describing the perfection of heaven by contrasting it with hell.
How do I know I am going to heaven? I know because Jesus is my Savior from sin, death, and the power of the devil.
- Jesus made me holy and acceptable before my Father in heaven. He paid the wages of my sins, not just a few of them, but all of them.
- Jesus made me righteous before God in heaven. That is the truth of the Gospels’ message. The means of Grace by which I have been brought to faith is the Gospel of God’s Word and Sacraments. That truth brought me to faith, to believe in Jesus as my Savior.
I am going to heaven where there is no sin.
Jesus is sending all his believers out into this sinful world with that message of the truth. Why? Because he wants everyone to be sanctified with that truth. Listen to God talk to you about what Jesus has done for you in His Word—it is the TRUTH.
Prayer: Dear Father in heaven, sanctify me and make me holy with your TRUTH. Your word is TRUE. Amen.
