Some believers run with the slogan: HEAVEN AT LAST! Now listen carefully: The FIRST thing Jesus accomplished for every believer is an assurance of eternity with God!
‘…Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved), And hath raised us up together, and made US SIT TOGETHER IN HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ Jesus…’ (Ephesians 2:5-6)
If you are a believer in Jesus, you are already SEATED in Heaven in Christ! And you are still sitting now.
Hello, Christianity is NOT Heaven at LAST! A Christian is NOT trying to make heaven. Rather, a Christian is already seated in Heaven in Christ manifesting his already received salvation on earth with good works to the glory of God. What makes Christianity unique from any other religion is that while others are doing all they can to make heaven at last, Christianity SITS a believer in heaven where he starts doing good works in appreciation of his already received salvation.
Other religions are serving rigorously in order to become ‘sons’. Christianity FIRST MAKES YOU A SON then encourages you to serve. (John 1:12) Others are trying to make God accept them.
Christianity says “…you are already ACCEPTED IN THE BELOVED…” (Eph. 1:6), manifest this reality! Hallelujah.
Always remember: Christianity is NOT Heaven at LAST! Christianity is simply HEAVEN AT FIRST!
Amen.
