I think it’s funny how people portray Heaven as a white cloudy kind of place where people dress in robes and have halos and play harps. And then people look at that made up idea and say it’s boring, so they’re not all that interested in going.
Of course the reality of Heaven is beyond our imagination. The Bible says it’s massive and full of color and lights and trees and flowing water. But it’s also a place of worship. It will be like church 24/7. And people will be singing praises to God and worshiping him non-stop. Of course that idea doesn’t appeal to anyone who doesn’t believe in or like God. So they probably wouldn’t be interested in Heaven anyway.
of course everybody who admits the truth, understands how great God is and how worthy he is of our worship and obedience, and how limitless the blessings of a relationship with God is. But they like to hold on to the idea that Heaven is like winning the lottery and doing whatever you want without interaction with God. Many people think they can con God into letting them into Heaven in spite of their sinful hearts and lives and that somehow their hearts and minds will magically change when they die. But the scary truth is, your heart and mind are judged for what they are and if you’re not purified before you kick the bucket, you’ll be pitched out and burned with all the other impurities that aren’t worthy of entering God’s presence.
What do you think of that thought?
