The Gulf Is Fixed
Text: Luke 16:19-25
The
devil spends a great deal of energy trying to dull people’s
senses in the existence of Heaven. When people act and take decisions,
the devil ensures that they do not take eternity into consideration.
Satan
has continued to do all he can to deceive people into believing
that there is no heaven. I know that there is Heaven and I have
a friend there. Jesus is my Friend and He is in Heaven. God the
Father is in Heaven. God the Holy Spirit is also there. Me friends
who died in the Lord are also there.
Jesus
told us a true story in our text. This story gives us a glimpse
of Heaven and hell and shows us that all does not start and end
in this world. Satan also propagates the idea of purgatory. This
is, according to Satan, a place where the dead go first. Here,
it is believed that one will suffer for a short time and then
all flaws would be cleansed. Then the person will become qualified
for heaven. This is a lie from the pit of hell. If you should
find yourself in hell, be sure that you will be there forever.
There is no way of getting to Heaven from hell. Satan also tells
people that Jesus Christ is dead. He says that Jesus Christ did
not resurrect.
My
Jesus Christ is alive, without any doubt. Job said in Job 19:25-27:
“For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand
at the latter day upon the earth.” Jesus Christ is alive.
One of these days I shall see Him. If Jesus comes today, will
He take you along? Will you be one of the over-comers?
Memory Verse: Job 19:25 - “For I know that my redeemer liveth,
and that he shall stand at the later day upon the earth.”
