You Need Never be Homeless Again!


OUR HEAVENLY HOME

You may not have a home on this earth you can have a home in heaven. God's word tells us, "For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. Who shall change our vile body (our physical body), that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body (His Spiritual Body), according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself." Philippians 3:20-21

Our Heavenly Home is a prepared place for a prepared people. Jesus said, "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. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." John 14:1-3

We must prepare ourselves so that we can inheritance own Heavenly Home. "Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie." Revelation 22:14-15


THE NATURE OF OUR HEAVENLY HOME

Our Heavenly Home is a secure home. "Lay not upon for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal. For where you treasure is, there will you heart be also." Matthew 6:19-21

Our Heavenly Home is an eternal home. "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us gain unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in Heaven for you, Who (the Christians) are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 1 Peter 1:3-5


HOW CAN I HAVE A HEAVENLY HOME?

        ACKNOWLEDGE you are a sinner, headed for  hell, and repent of your sins.
     

    For all have  sinned and come short of the glory of God. Romans 6:23 - For the wages of  sin is death;    (Romans 3:23)

    Except ye repent, ye shall likewise perish. (Luke 13:3)

     

     

        BELIEVE Jesus died for you and rose again, and ask him to save you.

     

     

     

     But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)

    That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. (Romans 10:9)

    For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:13)

        CONFESS the Lord Jesus with your mouth to show that you trust him.

     

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10:10)

"Behold now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation."                                                                        (II Corinthians 6:2)

If you want this heavenly home that Jesus offers through being born again, then sincerely pray the following prayer:

Dear Lord, I know I have done wrong and need forgiveness. Thank you for dying for my sins and for offering me an abundant and eternal life. Please forgive my sins and help me to turn from them. I now confess you as my Lord and receive you as my Savior. Take control of my life and make it full and meaningful. In Jesus' name,

                                                                Amen
