Eternity’s Church
Hebrew 11:16 - But now they desire a better country, that is a heavenly, wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he hath prepared for them a city.
A. Where is Eternity’s Church?
1. John Let not your heart be troubled, ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
2. Revelations 21:1-3 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw The , New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
B. Who will be there?
1. Revelations -And there shall in no wise enter into it anything that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination or maketh a lie; but they which are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
2. Is Your Name in the Lamb’s Book of Life? - And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fifre.
3. You have to be on God’s Lay Away plan for your name to be In The Book of Life. Ephesians 1: - Sealed to be Secure in Jesus. When God gave us the Holy Ghost he put a deposit on us, until he comes back to purchase us unto himself. When we receive the gift of the Holy Ghost our names become written in God's Book of Life. Believe it or not - its your choice. I believe God's Word. If you do not believe it - you will find out that it is true after you die! There is no opportunity to accept Christ after death - Now is the time of Salvation!
C. CAN I BE PREPARED FOR ETERNITY’S CHURCH?
As New Jerusalem will be prepared for the New Earth-God’s people are constantly being prepared for Eternity’s Church. People feel that church is not necessary. They do not understand that by being faithful to the church we are being faithful to the Head of the Church which is God. How can you be faithful to an organization when you are not there to help establish it?
Requisites:
Be Prepared to praise God
Be prepared to sing a song
Make Yourself enjoy THE PREACHED WORD-We will be living with The Word personified in . . Eternity's Church. Everytime God speaks The Word goes forth. If you can’t stand The Word now how will you stand it later.
Love church -Why do you say that you are going to heaven but you hate to go to church? Church is a foretaste of heaven.
If you do not want to praise God on earth-how are you going to praise him in heaven?
