That
is what we can reflect upon this Christmas Season
Those
of us who love Christ Jesus with all our heart, mind, soul and
strength
Are on
our way to Heaven.
Christ
Jesus came to provide us the Way—And He is that Way--
And
the Truth and the LIFE. (John 14:6)
The
World has its heart-set and mind-set in this World
But
our heart-set and mind-set are on God's Kingdom—Heaven,
For we
know that we possess Eternal Souls
That
God intended to reside in Heaven,
And if
we follow in the footsteps of Christ Jesus,
Heaven
is our destination.
Sing
the wondrous love of Jesus
Sing
his mercy and His grace
In the
mansions bright and blessed
He'll
prepare for us a place
Refrain:
When
we all get to Heaven
What a
day of rejoicing that will be
When
we all see Jesus,
We'll
sing and shout the victory
While
we walk the pilgrim pathway,
Clouds
will overspread the sky
But
when trav'ling days are over
Not a
shadow, not a sigh
Let us
then be true and faithful
Trusting,
serving every day;
Just
one glimpse of Him in glory
Will
the toils of life repay.
Onward
to the prized before us!
Soon
His beauty we'll behold;
Soon
the pearly gates will open;
We
shall tread the streets of gold.
We
are among those from every previous generation
Who
laid down their lives for Christ Jesus
Only
to take up His LIFE—even Eternal LIFE.
God
Almighty is making up His Treasured Possession
And He
is including us. Listen:
You
are a people Holy to the Lord your God.
The
Lord your God has chosen you
Out
of all the peoples on the face of the earth
To
be His Treasured Possession. (Deuteronomy 7:6)
And
the Lord has declared this day that you are His people,
His
Treasured Possession as He promised,
And
you that you are to keep all His Commands.
He
has declared that He will set you in praise, fame and honor
High
above all the nations he has made
And
that you will be a people Holy to the Lord your God, as He promised.
(Deuteronomy
26:18-19)
Then
those who feared the Lord talked with each other,
And
the Lord listened and heard.
A
Scroll of Remembrance was written in His Presence
Concerning
those who feared the Lord and honored His Name.
'THEY
WILL BE MINE,' says the Lord Almighty,
In
The Day when I make up My Treasured Possession.
I
will spare them,
Just
as in compassion a man spares his son who serves him.
And
you will again see the distinction
Between
the Righteous and the Wicked,
Between
those who serve God and those who do not. (Malachi 3:16-18)
Let
us not be confused:
Do
you no know that the Wicked will not inherit the Kingdom of God?
Do
not be deceived:
Neither
the Sexually Immoral nor Idolaters nor Adulterers
Nor
Male Prostitutes nor Homosexual Offenders
Nor
thieves nor the Greedy nor Drunkards nor Slanderers nor Swindlers
Will
inherit the Kingdom of God.
And
that is what some of you were.
But
you were Washed, you were Sanctified, you were Justified
In
the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ
And
by the Spirit of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9-11)
We
are among those who left the Past Behind:
Not
that I have already obtained all this,
Or
have already been made Perfect,
But
I Press on to take hold of that
For
which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
Brothers,
I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it.
But
one thing I do:
Forgetting
what is Behind and Straining toward what is ahead,
I
press on toward the GOAL to win the PRIZE
For
which God has called me HEAVENWARD in Christ Jesus.
(Philippians
3:12-14)
We're
on our way to Heaven—
Let
our hearts and minds be fixed on our Destination--
Our
Eternal Home.
Today,
the World is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)
This
World in its present form is passing away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)
America
is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save
yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father, Your Kingdom
come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
