How Does the Soul Enter Heaven
God invites everyone to go to heaven!
Such is His desire, design and delight
along with His offered compassion
marked with grace, mercy, peace and forgiveness
packed in His gift of eternal life.
The Bible declares in John 3:16:
"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."
God welcomes each one to His heavenly abode!
This is made possible by faith in the Saviour Jesus Christ
Who paid the price for such entrance
through His precious sacrifice: His death on the cross.
According to the Scriptures which I fully believe
“To be absent from the body
is to be present with the Lord…”*
The soul enters heaven after earthly breath ceases
separating from the mortal body
to dwell with God in heaven forever.
Since faith in the Saviour matters most
I then must put my trust in Jesus Christ
“The way, the truth, the life…
fully relying on His assertion that
“No man cometh unto the Father, but by me…”**
Having known that God by His love
already opened heaven’s doors to sinners like me
I did never miss the opportunity
of accepting His gift of eternal life***
for life everlasting means heavenly citizenship.
Now, I’m assured of secured fellowship with the Almighty
as my blessed soul is ready to enter heaven
when He calls me to live in the mansion
the Saviour prepared there in His Father’s house****
for all those who believe in Him.
That is what I testify triumphantly
through Gospel declaration of hopeful bliss
toward freedom from transgression-bondage
‘til eternity in heaven, even beyond forever.
*2Corinthians 5:8 We are confident,… and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
**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.
***Romans 6:23 … The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
**** John 14: 1-2 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
