Is Heaven Your Future Home? You Can Know For Sure it is (Bible Study)

Is Heaven Your Future Home? 
You Can Know For Sure it is (Bible Study)


There is alot of People Who Would love to sit and listen to the word of God, there are some who will argue in the middle of, or at the end of hearing Gods word. Why Would some people do that? One main reason would be is because they don’t have God in there hearts and have rejected God word out of their lives. That is a straight path to hell. There will be no heaven waiting for them at the end of their time. The persons soul will surely die, in fact, if you don’t have God in Your heart now, your already dead, while your still alive here on this planet. Once you have turned Your Life, 100% over to God and repented to Jesus Christ and admit all your bad sins to Him, you then can be reborn again The Old Life has passed away and the new Life has begun. Mat 6:24  No one can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

Is Heaven your future home? You can know for sure that is!!!

“Nobody can know for sure that they are going to Heaven, right?” WRONG! “I guess we’ll have to wait till we get there to find out, right?” WRONG! ” If my good outweighs my bad, I’ll probably go to Heaven, right?” WRONG!

To make a presumption that what you have been taught all your life must be true, especially concerning the destination of your eternal soul, is the epitome of foolishness. Your soul is the only possession you have that is eternal! Your wife, husband, children, house, cars, money, possessions, beauty, health, etc. are all temporal. Nobody can, ever has, or ever will be able to possess these forever. Your soul, however, lives on forever in Heaven or hell (see Luke 16:19-31). Do not take chances! Do not trust in what man tells you. What does God have to say about salvation and going to Heaven? That is what is important!

God’s Clear Promises
Why was the Bible written according to this following verse? “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life…” (I John 5:13). God wants you to know that you have eternal life! John 5:39 says: “Search the scriptures, for in them ye think ye have eternal life, and they are they which testify of me.”

Do not trust in Clergymen to do your searching and interpreting of the Scriptures! What if they are wrong? IT IS YOUR SOUL! Jesus said search yourself!

Proper interpretation is not for a few Clergymen! The Apostle Paul, while in Rome, reminded a young man named Timothy, “And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus,” (2 Timothy 3:15). Timothy knew the Holy Scriptures from his childhood. He was taught them, not by Clergymen, but by his grandmother and mother (see 2 Timothy 1:5).

God wrote the Bible so every person on earth could read it and find out what He requires for us to have eternal life. We can know for sure that we are going to Heaven! It is mental torment to have to go through life wondering if we are going to make it to Heaven or if we will end up in hell. A God of love would not want us to be mentally tormented and live in fear and uncertainty all of our days as hostages to some unknown demands of His. HIS DEMANDS ARE KNOWN. If you will do what God says you must do to go to Heaven, you will be saved and KNOW IT!

Uh-oh, We Are In Trouble

God demands perfection, holiness and righteousness. On the other hand, this is what the Bible says of us:

■”There is NONE righteous, no not one,” (Romans 3:10).
■”There is NONE that doeth good, no not one,” (Romans 3:12).
■”For ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God,” (Romans 3:23).
■”For we are ALL as an unclean thing and all of our righteousness (good works) are as filthy rags,” (Isaiah 64:6).
It does not matter how good you THINK your are. The best person reading this article is nothing more than a sinner like the rest of us; and the person reading this who has done the most good works, they are nothing more than filthy rags to God.

The Penalty
Sin is a big joke today. Just watch TV. God never has laughed at sin and never will. It cost Him His Son’s life! That is serious. The Bible says, “The wages of sin is death,” (Romans 6:23). All of us are sinners and will pay the wages. Beyond physical death, the Scriptures teach, “The SOUL that sins, it shall die,” (Ezekiel 18:4,20).

God’s Word teaches that death has two parts: physical death and eternal separation from God in a lake of fire. “And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire,” (Revelation 20:14-15).

Jesus Paid Our Penalty
Knowing that we were sinners, lost, hopeless and totally incapable of saving ourselves, JESUS DIED FOR OUR SINS! He paid our death penalty in full. He was your substitute! You should have hung on the cross! “For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit,” (1 Peter 3:18). Christ’s suffering was ONCE for all! Why? That He might bring us to God.

“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us,” (Romans 5:8). God loves you! If God never does another thing for you as long as you live, He has already proved that He loves you by sending His son to die in your place for your sins on the cross. “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16). When was the last time someone died for you??? That is love!

You Must Accept Christ As Your Saviour
If you could earn your way to Heaven, then why did Christ have to die for you? No, you cannot earn your way into Heaven by your good works! Consider Ephesians 2:8-9, “For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, least any man should boast.”

The question, “What must I do to be saved?” was asked in Acts 16:30. Acts 16:31 gave the answer, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.” Romans 4:5 says, “But to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.”

Quit working and start trusting! It is not what you can do that will save you, but what Christ has done. Are you believing on Him ALONE, or are you trusting in yourself or religion?

Have you received Christ as your Saviour? John 1:12 says, “But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God even to them that believe on His name.” Therefore, being saved is an event, not a lifelong process.

“I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved.” (John 10:9). Jesus said it! “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me,” (John 14:6).

If you are going to Heaven, it is through accepting Jesus Christ as your Saviour only. Matthew 7:13-14 teaches us that there are many ways to hell, but only one way to Heaven, and Jesus is the only door.

Jesus Christ could not do any more to save you and to show His love for you than what He has already done. Now it is up to you. Will you accept Him as your Saviour or reject Him? When you stand before God’s judgement seat, He is not going to ask you, “How good have you been?” He is going to ask you “What did you do with my son, Jesus Christ, who died for you: did you receive Him as your Saviour or reject Him?”

Do not gamble with your soul! Ask Jesus to be your Saviour. God is everywhere. Wherever you may be as you read this, God is there. God says to you, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13). Do it now; do not wait, for tomorrow is uncertain.

To receive Christ as your Saviour
BELIEVING pray, “Heavenly Father, I am sorry for my sin, I repent! Have mercy on me! I do today receive Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour from sin and its penalty. I believe He died for me and was buried and rose again and trust today in His sacrifice and shed blood for the forgiveness of my sins. Please give to me the free gift of eternal life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

Assurance of Salvation
Now claim God’s promise- “Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that heareth my word, and believeth on Him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life,” (John 5:24). “WHOSOEVER shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved,” (Romans 10:13).
We are to live one day at a time and to live right for God. God wants Us to live perfect, just as he is perfect. Mat 5:48 Tells Us, Therefore be perfect, even as your Father in Heaven is perfect.  Those Who worries about the end time, must have burdens that they can’t seam to let go of. Let me Put it this way, with all the Bible Studies that we have Talked on and about, put all them together in a big Shell, They all are trying to teach you to learn how to be ready for the end.  It should be teaching you how to be right with him in all things you do in your life, so you won’t die with the sinful world. There is Not Much to learn about the end times, because if you are a true Christian and a follower of God, Your then Protected from all evil. So what is there to fear? Treat others as you would like to be treated. This is one of the most hard things to do as christians are to treat others good and help them no matter what, but if they are in a bind and need help then help them, If the Person Your Helping goes out to blow their spending on foolish things on constant basis and know they are doing it and know it’s wrong, thier help will then be no longer there. God works the same way. If a sinner comes to him and admits he/she is wrong and tells Him about it, He will forgive them, but if he or she keeps on going back to the old sinful ways and knows that he/she is doing that, God will decline you and tell you Depart from me, For I never Knew you.. Lets see what our Lord Jesus says in Matthew  7:15-23

A Tree and Its Fruits 

Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.   You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?  Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruits, nor can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that does not bring forth good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you shall know them. Not everyone who says to Me, Lord! Lord! shall enter the kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in Heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, Lord! Lord! Did we not prophesy in Your name, and through Your name throw out demons, and through Your name do many wonderful works?  And then I will say to them I never knew you! Depart from Me, those working lawlessness! The Tree that is being talked about is us humans, the fruit is what is in a humans heart. So if there is foolish talk and foul behavior in heart, which is called bad fruit will ruin the whole tree, Making the tree bad. Therefore, the whole human body then becomes bad and sinful At that point God will turn the human away and will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’. If a bad tree bears bad fruit it is thrown in the lake of fire. Like it says in Matthew 7:15-20 Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles? Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruits, nor can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that does not bring forth good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you shall know them. I know that we have covered alot of hard issues here tonight, but the facts are the facts. If you can not handle them here and now, are you going to be able to handle it when you face God at the end of you time here on this planet? I am Just the Messenger, if you have a problem with me sharing this message, then you also have a problem with God the father. Let’s Read the attachment that we have here tonight and then close with a prayer.

So some of you won’t remain ignorant concerning what you say, below is a list of some oaths that are of the religious nature adapted from the list found on Wikipedia. Although both “God” and “damn” are Bible words, the use of these words together is offensive and thus Some of the letters are blanked out in definitions.

“Shinola,” “Shoot,” “Shucks,” “Sugar,” etc., all refer to the modern and vulgar barnyard reference to dung. “Freaking,” “Frickin,” “Fudging,” “Feck,” “Fig,” and other “F-words” obviously refer to the highly obscene and insulting “F-words” that is so commonly used by the ignorant, vulgar and profane. As Often as it is used by someone would think it was the speaker’s middle name.

These words and similar can regularly be heard in Christian Homes, work places, and even in churches. Some of you may claim you didn’t realize these seeming benign terms were “oaths.” Fair enough but Now you Know [1 Thes. 5:22- Abstain from every appearance of evil. ].

Your author has been guilty of using some of them when he was younger, and even today catches himself using variations of them he heard as a child growing up in “Appalachia.” Just the Other Day he heard himself say “I declare” which is a form of “I Swear” Mat 5:34-36  But I say to you, Do not swear at all! Not by Heaven, because it is God's throne; not by the earth, for it is the footstool of His feet; not by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King; nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black.  James 5:12  But before all things, my brothers, do not swear; neither by the heaven nor by the earth, nor any other oath. But let your yes be yes, and your no, no, lest you fall into condemnation. He Still uses old terms like “I reckon” for I Suppose” or “over yonder” for “over there,” but “I declare,” “I swan” or “I hope my die” are not acceptable. [Some of you are lost on these terms, but they are still common in the hills.]
