My Daily Devotional

Are You Ready

“After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice: Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.”
Revelation 7:9-10

Many people today believe that this present life is all there is—that when people die, they simply cease to exist forever. But this is not what the Bible teaches about life after death. The Bible makes it clear that there are great blessings in store for those who accept God’s forgiveness for their sins and follow Him. Such people will enter Heaven, the perfect place where God reigns. More than a mere enticement to follow God, however, the promise of Heaven gives God’s people great hope—assurance that there is reward beyond this life so that we do not need to worry about the trials we must endure today. What will life be like in Heaven? The above scripture makes several truths about the place where all believers will live forever. I believe we will live without fear or worry, as Heaven is a place of security, safety and protection. In Heaven we will also live without need, as it will be a place of complete sufficiency. We will live without pain, and Heaven will be a place of comfort. Finally Heaven will be a place where we will live without sorrow, for Heaven is a place of boundless joy. In Heaven we will be free of life’s cares and will be filled with the joy of being in God’s presence. One day we all will stand before God at his judgment throne and give an accounting of our life, there will not be a chance then to give any excuses for our thoughts, actions and behavior. Are you ready for this judgment?
