I Want to Be in Heaven!

«For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost?» Luke 9:25

Do you remember John the Baptist? He announced to the people that Jesus was coming. He also baptized Jesus. John the Baptist was not afraid to tell the truth. He told Herod that what he was doing was wrong. Because of that, Herod ordered to kill him. Do you know what was most important to John the Baptist? Being faithful, doing his work, and going to heaven one day.

There are many people who wish to go to heaven, but don’t want to do God’s will. For them, it’s more important to become rich and famous, even if they disobey God.

This is not what Jesus taught! He said that sometimes it would be hard to be kind, to speak the truth, and to obey God. But that is more important than having a lot of money! When Jesus comes back, our money and everything we have will stay here on earth. Only we are going to heaven. Because of that we must take care of our salvation.

Let’s practice!

What is most important in the world to you?
