How To Go To Heaven

In our realm of experience, everything must eventually end.

We live in a world of starts and stops, days and nights, births and deaths. Everything that we encounter in our lives testifies to this truth. Good books eventually end. Favorite movies run their course. And beautifully sunny days, must of necessity, march relentlessly into evening. Even the very world beneath our feet will one day cease to exist.

So if it is true that we are creatures conceived, birthed, and matured into only this reality, why is it that we spend such enormous quantities of wealth, and even more precious time, battling with the inevitable?

Is the one who would marshal their abilities to attempt to avoid their own end, their own death, playing the part of the fool, the dreamer, or the steel faced warrior? In the final analysis by those that still remain to ponder such things, will our efforts be found laudable, perhaps even heroic, but eventually only sad?

Or in this struggle, are we perhaps on to something? Are we being tapped on the shoulder, being urged to listen to what that still, quiet voice is telling us: that there exists some truth that tells us we are not temporary things. That we are not like the grass, or the flower, or the morning: here today and gone tomorrow.

Isn't it interesting that even while being immersed in a world completely saturated with examples of the temporary, we still behave as if we should be permanent: that we should continue to live, or that if death must indeed come, that we can somehow continue beyond it.

So why, if we are indeed such temporary creatures ourselves, do we struggle so against our own end? Could it be, that in contrast to everything temporary that we see around us, we are instead permanent creatures?

This is certainly the message of the Bible.

It teaches us that God has set eternity in the very heart of man. At the center of our being, we suspect that what we experience now isn't all that there is, just as we suspect that the end of our physical lives isn't the end of us. That suspicion, that tap on the shoulder, and that still, quiet voice is God Himself. Telling us, if we will listen, that what we experience now isn't what was planned for us, and although this experience will end - we ourselves will not.

And once we allow ourselves to realize this truth, we ask the next question: "what comes after this?" Can choices made now truly effect the reality of then?

We hope you choose to listen along as we consider one of the most asked questions in existence, and one that was put squarely to Jesus Christ Himself: "What must I do to gain eternal life?"
