Imagining Heaven

By Rev. Dean Beaty 9/18/09

I Corinthians 2:9 “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,

neither have entered into the heart of man, the things

which God hath prepared for them that love him.” (KJV)

Can you imagine heaven and eternal life with God,

After men have planted you beneath the earthly sod?

Do you have assurance that heaven’s true for you;

That no power from earth or hell can e’er this truth undo?

Have you read God’s promises? Have you this message heard?

This assurance that God gives you as spoken in His Word.

John ten verse twenty-seven and on through twenty-nine,*

There’s no greater promise. Trust it and make it thine.

“Him that cometh unto me, I’ll in no wise cast out.” (John 6:37)

For this truth praise the Lord and with hallelujah shot.

Call upon Christ’s saving name and trust His Holy Word.

These are the greatest promises that men have ever heard.

Judgment day draws nearer, when all kneel at Jesus feet.

Are you prepared, my friend, the Savior now to meet?

The way to God is narrow and few there be thereon.**

Are you one of these few upon whom heaven will dawn?

* John 10:27-29 “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man

pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all;

and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.” (KJV)

** Matthew 7:13-14 “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate,

and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which

go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth

unto life, and few there be that find it.” (KJV)
