Logical and illogical thinking

This is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
John 17:3

Logical and illogical thinking
It is astonishing that many people spend their life without being occupied with God, even denying His existence, yet they envisage the possibility of going to heaven after death because they have done no harm to anyone. This attitude reveals a fatal misunderstanding. Heaven is God's dwelling: "It is God's throne" (Matthew 5, 34). How can anyone imagine being happy in heaven with a God whom one has chosen to ignore all one's life?

Man is often illogical; God is not. He is a Saviour-God, who "desires all men to be saved" (1 Timothy 2, 3.4), but if you do not want Him now, you will be far from Him in eternity.

We have access to heaven solely by having a relationship with Him who dwells there and by knowing Him personally. This knowledge comes through faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. "Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal him" (Matthew 11, 27).

Jesus has revealed Him to us. To do so He agreed to leave His glorious state in heaven and come to this earth. At the end of a life of suffering and rejection He paid the debt of my sins. I believed in Him and He brought me into the relationship of a child with His Father. God is an integral part of my present life, and I await the day when He will receive me in heaven with assurance.

Let us be logical. If we wish to live with God in heaven one day, let us now come to know the Saviour-God through Jesus Christ!
