THE INHERITANCE OF ETERNAL LIFE

Musick-al note # 119

      In the heart of every man lies a desire to live eternally and great wealth has been spent to assure that man keeps living in this world. Observation and experience teaches us that we cannot live in this world eternally. It is destined that man shall die and then comes judgment (Hebrews 9:27).  How then can that desire of every heart be fulfilled?  Jesus has declared that he will give his followers eternal life! (John 10:26-29). God has provided this answer by providing an eternal habitation for the souls of men (John 14:1-3).  God has established by His power that habitation in a place called heaven.  He has made it both sure and steadfast so that we might have hope (Hebrews 6:19).  The Bible is the revelation of God to give man knowledge of that place and knowledge of how to obtain the goal and satisfy the desire of their hearts.  Those who obey Him will be blessed and enter into the habitation with God (Hebrews 12:25-28).  However, not all men will obey and because the soul needs an eternal habitation, God has provided that those who are disobedient and follow the way of Satan will share his eternal habitation (Matthew 25:46). That which is prepared for Satan and his angels is called Hell – a place of fire and brimstone which burns forever and forever (Revelation 14:10-11, 19:20).  Disobedient ones will go to that place where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth (Matthew 8:12, 13:42, 22:13).   The blessed will be in heaven to share all joy and happiness forever and forever (Matthew 25:34, 46). Study the Word and obey the Word that you might enjoy the blessings of God.
