Home in Heaven With Jesus

“They went home to Heaven to be with Jesus,” is what my Mother always told us, after a loved family member or friend died. I was just a child then and believed her. Their faith in Jesus Christ as their Savior was what enabled them to enter Heaven. How do we know this to be true? In the Bible, Romans 10:9 states, “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Also, Romans 10:13 states, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Come along with me, on my journey. As I share, how as a child I did believe my Mother and shared her faith. As I grew older, I learned that although my parents had a strong faith in Christ; I needed to have my own. From the moment we are created, we have an eternal soul. We are all God’s children, created in the image of God. We will live forever in the presence of God or be separated. Our choice to live with God has eternal consequences. I have said many “goodbyes,” to those I love and look forward to seeing them again in Heaven. Learn how I found my joy and my hope of Heaven and how you can too!
