Re: I Can't Wait To Get To Heaven
We "go to" ETERNAL LIFE "city of God" (our INHERITANCE).....
Ephesians 1:14
"which is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it".
The kingdom of God/heaven is within (if our life/thoughts/behavior reflect it)....
Luke 17:21....KJV
"behold, the kingdom of God is within you".
The RSV and other versions don't say "within", they say "in the midst of you" (the phrase "midst of you" is also in other parts of scripture).
God didn't draw a 'map' or put His truth right out in the open for every 'Tom, Dick, and Harry' to find.
We don't "go to" church either. The new worship temple (church) is JESUS HIMSELF (but then, what do I know).
"Blessed are the...."brokenhearted and broken spirited....
...."for theirs is the....."...the INNER kingdom (Matthew 5:3). How many people have found this world to be perfectly comfortable for them? (they find satisfaction in playing the 'book game' and being 'Christian of the year').
....How many haven't been comforted by 'this world' because they're brokenhearted?
John 12:25
"He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life".
