We
employed the services of a protocol officer who assisted employees in our
organization with processing our international travels. However, he had never traveled outside his country of
origin. This guy was very good at his job. When you tell him you want to travel
to a particular country, he would immediately reel off all the visa
requirements for that country.
Sometimes he would even tell you the best route to fly,
possibly the challenges you may encounter, and the peculiarities of the people
of that country. One day I was so impressed by his depth of knowledge that I
asked him which countries he had visited. His response was “sir, forget that
thing; this is my work.
As
I pondered about this protocol guy recently, I realized that many people are
like this protocol officer; they can tell you details about heaven from the
religion they practiced but they may never get there. This is because
they may have discussed their understanding of the visa requirements to heaven
with others, but they have never really met the requirements themselves.
streets of heaven paved with gold (Rev.21:21)
In the light of the above, it is important to then ask the
question: what then is the visa to get
to heaven and how do we obtain it? Dear friend, this is VERY SIMPLE because
Jesus himself gave the answer in John 3:3 “…Verily, verily, I say unto you thee,
except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God”.
All you need do is come to a loving God through His son Jesus Christ to obtain salvation, which is A FREE GIFT, and not something attained by any good works. It is faith alone in Christ that qualifies you to obtain the visa to heaven to be with God in eternity (forever). The good news is that you can do this right now.
Please pray this prayer: Lord Jesus Christ, I come to you today, I
am a sinner. I believe you died for me that I might have ETERNAL LIFE. Forgive
me my sins and cleanse me with your blood.
I accept you as my Lord and Saviour. Make me a blessed child of God. Thank you for saving me. If you have prayed this
prayer sincerely, you are born again and you have ETERNAL LIFE.
