Eternity And The Human Heart (2)
Tuesday November 12, 2013
Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. (Revelation 21:1 NKJV)
Yesterday we noted that Jesus said that He had gone to prepare a place for us. He said that there were many mansions in His Father’s house. Think about the beautiful place He has prepared for us in the future. He tells us all about this place in the Bible.
The heaven and the earth we know right now will pass away. There will be a new heaven and a new earth. The only way to get to this eternal place is by preparing for it now. Planting tulip and daffodil bulbs in the fall season produces beautiful tulips and daffodils in the spring season. Turning our lives over to the God who created us and accepting His plan for our future, will guarantee that we will live with Him forever.

The required action we need to take is to acknowledge the work of Jesus on the cross as payment for our sins. When we do this the Bible says we will not perish but have eternal life. God wants to grow us into the man or woman He created us to be. This He does by giving us guidance through His word which He wants to plant deeply in our hearts. He has planted eternity in our hearts that we might think about the scope of His redeeming work from beginning to end.If they had longed for the country they came from, they could have gone back. But they were looking for a better place, a heavenly homeland. That is why God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them. (Hebrews 11:15-16 NLT)
Are you looking forward to the city God has prepared for you? Are you looking forward to the mansion Jesus says He will bring you to? If you don’t know Jesus as your Lord and Saviour take action now and accept all that He has done for you. Make sure that the house He has prepared for you will not remain empty. If you know Jesus as Saviour and Lord your place with Him in eternity is guaranteed.
