Come To Jesus day 8: That
You May Enter Heaven….Come! From the Neuman Hall Devotional booklet “Come To
Jesus” published in 1848!
It has been said (and
I think rightly) that for the unbeliever, this life is the only heaven he or
she will ever experience. Hell is an eternal environment where any shred of
goodness is forever absent.
In today’s edition of
Come To Jesus, Neuman zeroes in on the myriad bliss and joys of heaven: “How
delightful is the description that the Bible gives of heaven!
We are told that
sickness, sorrow, and death never enter there; that cares, fears, and anxieties
are never felt there; that poverty, privation, unkindness and disappointment
are never known there.
The glorified,
incorruptible body will never experience pain, weariness, or decay. Old age
will never enfeeble, for there will be perpetual youth; and death will never
snatch away those we love.
Hearts will be full of
perfect love of God and one another. All the good men and women of faith in the
former ages will be there; the martyrs, the prophets, the apostles. And very likely,
those who had a part in leading you to Christ!
In heaven, “they shall
obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.” “In His presence
is fullness of joy, and at His righthand are pleasures forevermore!”
Reader, listener, this
heaven may be thine! Jesus keeps the door, but He has opened it wide for all
sinners to enter! He is the door! He is the ONLY Door, but He invites you to come!
However guilty and
vile you are and have been, heaven may and certainly be yours if you but come.
