Heaven is not real?
I have learned one valuable lesson. Faith is real, when I say real, it’s something substantial, something you can feel, and something you know is there. Faith is the substance of things hoped for; this means that it’s something tangible. I realize that when you have faith you know it and if you’re wondering if your faith is enough, chances are your faith is weak or you have no faith at all. It’s normal to have doubts, we all do, but asking God to help you unbelief is faith in itself. Faith is NOT convincing yourself that God can do a thing, it’s knowing that he is capable of doing it. The exact moment faith comes alive is something that is undeniable, there is no doubt, you just know that it’s done. Even though you don’t see what you’ve been praying for you know that it’s done. Faith is definitely important because without it, you could never please God.
Why is faith so important?
Everything that Jesus has done is a matter of faith. He left us no video tapes and no pictures; no DVD’s to prove that he did what the bible says he did. He did not even leave a remnant of his face to look at and there were artist in those days. Just to believe that he existed is a matter of faith. I’ve heard of the historical Jesus and the biblical Jesus, scientists and theologians have all bent backwards to understand the actions of a little pheasant man born in a stable and still cannot explain all that he was and is. It’s all a matter of faith.
The biggest matter of faith to me is heaven. Like all things from GOD, we have to have faith and believe and it will be. If we have a little faith it is enough to move a mountain. Do we really believe this?
Some of us don’t have enough faith to heal a common cold much less to move a mighty mountain. It is imperative that we have faith since faith is the window through which Christ is alive and not dead. If you have no faith then Christ is still somewhere in a tomb in the middle east rotting away to the bone…to you at least. Faith is what lets us see his power and his resurrection and as a result watch it work in our lives. There are people who say they are Christians and do NOT believe that he was raised from the dead. Those people will NOT enter the kingdom of Heaven.
Unless you have faith to see heaven, then it will remain just as the last mountain you threw into the sea…non existent. So for many people Heaven will remain something that is not real all because they had no faith to believe. So if you struggle with faith….fix it because without faith heaven will never be real.
I know how to fix it….do you??
