The beauty and splendor of heavenConsider
In order to visibly see yourself saved, you must be able to visibly see yourself as eternally lost!!!There are no:Weekend passesNo visits to see if I like itNo exit signsNo ability to change anythingMy motivation
To be eternally removed from all evil.To see/meet the great men and women of the Bible.To again see the godliest people that ever walked this earth.To meet the Lord and to spend eternity with Him (I John 3:2-3; I Thessalonians 4:17).Most important question
Matthew 7:21-23Revelation 3:5 – “Will erase his name from the book of life.”Is my name written in the book?Can you picture yourself listening for your name?
