Hebrews 9.27 reminds us people are appointed to die once and then to face judgment.

Humanity has always struggled to think or plan much beyond today. This makes the most sense among those who are simply trying to survive through the daily gathering of their food but for most of us sustenance living is a thing of the past.

However just as we struggle to save and plan for our financial future even more do we fail to plan for our spiritual future.

The Bible teaches that there is One God Who is eternal and the author of all life. As He never dies neither will those created in His image die but will live forever with Him or separated from Him.

As humans pass from the womb to the earth so we will also pass from the earth to heaven where we will be measured not by comparison to one another but by the will of God. This passing is why Jesus says we must be born again to enter the Kingdom of God.

The determinant for where we live eternally has been clearly revealed in the Bible. God has clearly revealed Himself and His ways to all humanity for all time through the Bible and God invites everyone to receive His free gift into heaven though it cost Him personally at great sacrifice.

Jesus, God made visible, offered Himself as a sacrifice to pay for all humanity’s transgressions against God and now offers entrance to heaven through His resurrection from the dead.

We all will one day see God but whether we are well received is determined now by our commitment to follow Jesus.
