Heaven? YES!

Here is an excerpt from a great book on Heaven by Randy Alcorn

Jesus says near the end of the Bible...

He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.” And the one sitting on the throne said, “Look, I am making everything new!” And then he said to me, “Write this down, for what I tell you is trustworthy and true.” And he also said, “It is finished! I am the Alpha and the Omega—the Beginning and the End. To all who are thirsty I will give freely from the springs of the water of life. Revelation 21:4-6 (NLT) But then Jesus adds these sobering words:

All who are victorious will inherit all these blessings, and I will be their God, and they will be my children. “But cowards, unbelievers, the corrupt, murderers, the immoral, those who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers, and all liars—their fate is in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”
Revelation 21:7-8 (NLT)

For those who know Christ, their place is Heaven. For those who do not know Christ, their place is Hell. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. John 14:6 (NLT) There is no middle ground. Either you are a follower of Jesus or you are not. Christ said, “Anyone who isn’t with me opposes me, and anyone who isn’t working with me is actually working against me. Luke 11:23 (NLT)

C.S. Lewis on Heaven...

There have been times when I think we do not desire Heaven but more often I find myself wondering whether, in our heart of hearts, we have ever desired anything else.
