1 Peter 1:3, 4 - This Present Life Is Not The End.
1 Peter 1:3, 4 (NIV) [God] has given us new
birth into a living hope through the resurrection
of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an
inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade - kept
in heaven for you.
COMMENTARY PEARL
How do we know Heaven isn't just wishful
thinking on our part? Each of us has an inner sense
or feeling that death is not the end, because
God "set eternity in the human heart"
(Ecclesiastes 3:11 NIV).
Repeatedly Jesus told His disciples not
only that Heaven exists but that someday they
would go there. He declared, "I am the
resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will
live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and
believes in me will never die" (John 11:25-26).
But can we know that there is life after
death? The only way would be for someone to die -
and then come back to life and tell us what lies
beyond the grave. And that's exactly what happened
when Jesus Christ rose again from the dead. More
than that, however, Jesus' death and resurrection
tell us that sin and death have been defeated
forever. Heaven is God's promise to you and to all
who put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ as
their Lord and Savior.
How do you know you are going to Heaven?
