Jesus’ death on the cross allows us to embrace the soul-gripping freedom of eternity that we are invited to share in as Christians.

“But for all who did receive and trust in Him, He gave them the right to be reborn as children of God” (John 1:12, VOICE).

Humanity is born into a curse of sin we cannot control, but we serve a God who has made a way for us to escape it. This Biblical promise guarantees that “every ear will have a chance to hear,” and Jesus will not come back until then. But He will be back. For those who have accepted Him as our Savior, we will get to gaze into the face of Peace and embrace the King of Kings.

There will be no sickness, death, pain, or suffering in Heaven (Revelation 21:4). We will be reunited with believers who have gone before us (1 Thessalonians 4:17). All of the questions that we have stored up will fall away in the midst of the glory that will surround us when we finally arrive home.
