Heaven is a Kingdom of itself different then the kingdoms of the world. In Philippians 3:20-21 we are told to live as if we are in the Kingdom of Heaven or Citizens to God’s Kingdom. What does this mean? It means when we accept Jesus we are adopted into the family of God. When God adopts us He makes us His beloved children and heirs of God. Many people are concerned with the things of this world, social status and other things. We sometimes look at people with judgement but Jesus warns us to be compassionate. Instead of trying to be the greatest person in the Kingdom of Heaven or have the greatest things we should simply trust in Jesus and serve others. We are to use our influence as believers and our resources to serve others. The greatest in Heaven are those who humble themselves like a child and are meek. “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth” (Matthew 5:5).

Matthew 24:36 says, “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” So from a Christian point of view we don’t know when Jesus is returning to earth. We should relax and be very patient as someday He will come back. Christ will return 1 Thessalonians 4:16 says, “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:’ So those that have died will rise from the dead and be raptured to Heaven. Those alive and on earth will also be raptured to Heaven. We are but a short time from personal doomsday. Heart attacks, war and other things point to a face-to-face return of Christ at any moment. Our Creator is ready to come back. Whether the return of Christ is soon or far away we should be ready but not panic. Praise God that He will come back for Christians. Amen

Luke 12:22-24 says, “Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24 Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds!”. God will provide for us when we trust in Him. Matthew 11:29 says, “Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.”. It’s great news to know that in the midst of our struggles God will help us as long as we trust in Him. Even when we struggle and feel like God is not with us He is and will never turn His back on us. When we trust His Word and step towards Him we can press-into the plan God has for us. Praise God for His love, mercy and wonderful plans for us. Amen

God loves us all and has mercy upon all those that believe and accept Him. Psalms 136:1 says, “O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.” We should focus our hearts on Jesus Christ and be thankful for His amazing grace. Ephesians 2:8-9 says, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.” Our Heavenly Father desires the best for us. Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” It’s great news to know that when we place our trust and hope in Him God will cause all things to work-out for the best. Life is not always easy but Jesus desires to take our burdens and is full of grace and mercy upon us. Praise God for His love, grace and mercy. Amen

Hebrews 2:9 says, “But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.” Jesus was and is God, however God had to withdraw a bit from protecting Him because His mission was to die for our sins. Jesus who is above the angels was made less than the angels so that He could suffer death for all Christians. God’s grace is without limits, Jesus is now in Heaven and has received glory and honor. Christ loves us all very much so much that He was obedient to God 100% so that He could be the perfect lamb of God without blemish or sins to taste of death for all of us. Praise God for His love, grace and mercy. Amen

When we worship God we often sing. However, we should also worship God with our choices, our decisions, and our relationships. Matthew 4:10 says, “Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.” When Jesus was in the wilderness and tempted by the devil His choice to not fall into sin by quoting scripture shows that our actions are also a form of worship. We should walk with God daily, and let His Spirit guide us. God knows what’s best for us and loves us very much. When we worship and love God we do it because He first loved us. Jesus loved us so much He was willing to die on the cross for our sins so that He could bridge the gap between man and God. Praise God for His love and grace. Amen.

Deuteronomy 5:33 says, “Walk in obedience to all that the LORD your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess.” There are many other verses about walking with God. It is important to trust in the Lord daily, ” For we walk by faith, not by sight. – 2 Corinthians 5:7″ “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7” We can each have a personal relationship with God. Connecting us to God is exactly the mission Jesus Christ came to earth for. Jesus atoned for us on the cross so that we might have a more full life. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.” Praise God for the gift to walk with Him as disciples. Amen

God loves us and from His word we know that is why we love Jesus. 1 John 4:19, “We love him, because he first loved us.” We learn in the Bible that everything that is good is from God. James 1:17 says, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.” God will not turn away from us when we are stuck in sin we should run to Him not away from Him. Jesus desires to lift us up and help carry our burdens. Jesus has already forgiven Christians through His blood on the cross. Christ has shown great love and compassion towards us. The Lord is righteous and will not disown us. Praise God for His grace, love and mercy. Amen

The Bible clearly teaches that Jesus is the only way to Heaven. When Jesus was on earth He prayed for us to know Him better. John 17:3 says, “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” John 14:6, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” When we know Jesus we know the Father. John 14:7 says, “If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.”. I am thankful that through Jesus Christ we can know God and have a relationship with Him. Amen

We love God because He loved us first. We should walk with God daily. God desires to guide us. There is only one God and He desires to know us all personally. 1 Timothy 2:5 NLT “There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus.” Jesus always intercedes on our behalf and has given us the gift of salvation through faith in Him. If we don’t believe in Jesus we risk going to hell. Jesus came to set us free from the traps of the devil. Jesus is the way, “The truth and the life” He is the key to Heaven. When we walk and abide with God He will help us become better people. We should walk straight paths with God. Praise God for His guidance, grace, and mercy. Amen
