Revelation 21 :3-4 The Future Looks Good

God wants to save everyone so that everyone can go to heaven and have this:

See God’s home is with men. He will live with them…. God will take away all their tears. There will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All the old things have passed away.

1 Timothy 1:15 Jesus came to save everyone

Jesus is coming, again. Be ready!

Matthew 24:44 2nd Coming of Jesus
You must be ready also. The Son of Man is coming at a time when you do not think He will come.

Matthew 25 : 10,13 The 5 wise and 5 foolish girls
Those who were ready went in with him (Jesus) to the marriage ( heaven). The door was shut . So watch! You do not know what day or what hour the Son of Man is coming.
I must be ready now and all the time.

Acts 27: 23-25 Children of God have hope
Paul said,” I belong to God and I work for Him. An angel of God said to me, “ Do not be afraid Paul. You must stand in front of Caesar (the king of Rome). So take hope men. I believe my God will do what He has told me”
If God has a purpose for me, He will keep me alive

How to become children of God

1. I must believe in Jesus
He loves me.
He is the Son of God and has no sin.
He died on the cross so that I do not have to be punished (that means: go to hell).
2. I must be sorry about my sins
Jesus forgives me and makes my heart clean so that I can go to heaven
3. I must be born again through the Holy Spirit.
Then I’ll be a new person: I will turn away from sin.

16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. …. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, "I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. 19 Go then to all people everywhere and make them my disciples., Baptize them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teach them to do everything I have told you to do. And remember I will be with you always, to the very end of the age."
1. Jesus must be the King in my heart.
2. I must be an example: If I want to make people Jesus’ disciples I must listen to Jesus.
3. I must pray for them.
4. I must tell people: Love your neighbour as yourself and love God with all your heart.
