You can't afford to miss heaven for if you miss it, you miss all. It is the place of eternal rest (Heb.
4:9-11) where pain, sickness, and death will not be known (Rev. 21:4). It is an inheritance
incorruptible, and undefiled, and that does not fade away (1 Pet. 1:4). It is that city built by the
living God (Heb. 11:10).
You don't have to miss heaven. Humbly submit yourself to the will of God (Matt. 7:21). Let His
Word guide you (2 Tim. 3:15) and let no one beguile you or your reward (Col. 2:18). Overcome
temptations (James 1:12) and suffer for His cause with rejoicing (Matt. 5:11-12). If you do these
things, heaven will be yours someday for the God of heaven who cannot lie has promised it.
I quote a few words from some of our songs: "I am going to a city where the streets with gold are laid, where the tree of life is blooming, and the roses never fade. Here they bloom but for a season, soon their beauty is decayed; I am going to a city where the roses never fade." "I am bound for the promised land, promised land, I am bound for the promised land; O who will come and go with me? I am bound for the promised land." "When we've been there ten thousand years, bright shining as the sun; we've now less days to sing God's praise than when we first begun."
