Dear +riendF

Have you ever 7ondered 7hat Heaven is li2e3 Heaven is more "eautiul than anythin# 7e

could ever ima#ine The city o 1od is made o pure #old and all 2inds o precious stones

T7elve #ates lead into the cityF and the !i"le says each #ate is Eo one pearlE

)n HeavenFthere is no need of the sun or the moon& because the glory of God lights this land. 'rom

the throne of God and of the Lord #esus there flows the river of water of life& clear as crystal.

)n Heaventhere will be no sickness& no pain& no sin& and no death. "here will be no sorrow& for God

$imself will wipe away all tears from our eyes. ur loved ones who are there will know us and we will

know them. Best of all& we shall see our y 'ather?s house.= "hose who love the Lord #esus

will be with $im forever in this wonderful place called =the 'ather?s house.= 'or those who refuse #esus

and will have nothing to do with $im& there can be no $eaven.


12/158

Jesus Himsel is the 7ay to HeavenFthe only way. %hen $e talked to $is disciples about $eaven&

"homas asked& =$ow can we know the way@= #esus said& "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no

man comes unto the Father, but by Me")#ohn 07:82.

!ow let us consider some very important uestions:

Where did we come from?

Why are we here?

Where are we going?

Life is full of uestions& but these are the most important uestions of all& and the Bible gives us the

answers to them.

We came rom 1od"he universe is not an =accident&= and neither is man. God created the universe&

and $e created man. "he Bible says&

"The Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the

breath of life and man became a li!ing soul #erson$")Genesis :92.

$an is a created "ein#$e did not come up from lower forms of life. >an was created as =a living

person.= >an is the highest of all God?s creatures because he was created in the image of God. "he

Bible says& "%o God created man in &is own image, in the image of God created &e him male

and female created &e them")Genesis 0:92.


13/158

n the beginning everything was good and beautiful because God made it that way. God was pleased

with $is work. "he Bible says& "God saw e!ery thing that &e had made, and, behold, it was

!ery good")Genesis 0:602.

"oday everything is not good and beautiful. "here is hatred& fighting& stealing& lying& murders& wars&

sickness& sin& and death in the world.

What 7ent 7ron#3>an turned away from God >an chose to go his own way instead of going God?s

way.

,ven though man has turned away from God& God still loves man and wants to bless him. >an is God?s

special creation& made in the image of God. God has lost man& but $e cannot bear to lose him forever.

1od made usto have fellowship with $im so that $e could enCoy us and we could enCoy $im. But sin

has separated us from God. God has given us the Bible so we can find our way back to $im.

We are headed or eternityYou and are going to live forever in one of two places/$eaven or

hell. %here we live in eternity depends on the choice we make in this life. God wants us to choose to

return to $im. God wants us to choose $eaven


14/158

Jesus told usthat there are two roads in life. ne road is a broad road leading down. >any people

are on this road. "he other road is a narrow road leading up. 'ew people are on this road.

Jesus told uswhere these two roads lead. "he narrow road leads to $eaven. "he broad road leads to

separation from God& in hell& forever. $ow terrible

"o get on the narrow road to $eaven we must repent and take the Lord #esus as our

22/158

Have you ever 7onderedhow the earth& the sun& the moon& and the stars came into being@ God

created them "his universe did not come into being by itself. God created it "he very first verse in

the Bible says& "In the beginning God created the hea!ens and the earth")Genesis 0:02.

We 2no7 that there is a 1odbecause we see what $e has done. %e see the wonderful things which

$e has created. "he Bible says& "The hea!ens declare the glory of God and the firmament

shows &is handiwor6")Dsalm 0:02.

1od created us too>%e are very special creatures because we were created in the image of God.

"he Bible says& "'God created man in &is own image'")Genesis0:92.

f all the great and wonderful things which God created& do you know what God loves most@

1od Loves &O&L>And $e is so great that $e knows each one of us. $e knows you and $e loves

you You are worth more to $im than the whole world

This meansthat God had no beginning and $e will have no end. ,verything else in the universe had

a beginning& but there never was a time when God did not e5ist. "he Bible says&"'from e!erlasting

to e!erlasting, 8ou are God")Dsalm ;:2.


23/158

This meansthat God is present in every place in $is universe. God is very& very great =+o not fill

heaven and earth@ says the Lord= )#eremiah 6:72.

!o matter where we are or where we may go& God is there. Derhaps you are wondering& "If God is

everywhere why #an't we see Him*"

The reason 7e cannot see 1odis because God is a spirit. %e cannot see a spirit. You have a body

which we can see. But you also have a spirit which we cannot see. %e can see your body& but no one

can see your spirit.

1od is all spirit$e does not have a body& so we cannot see $im. But $e sees us& and $e hears us&

and $e loves us.

Because God is God and because $e is spirit& $e can be everywhere at the same time. $e is always

with us wherever we are.

This meansthat God can do anything. "here is no limit to $is power. $e is =the Almighty God.= $e

has all power in $eaven and in the earth. ,ven the most powerful men of this world are as nothing

compared to God. "he Bible says&

"'&e does according to &is will in the army of hea!en, and among the inhabitants of the

earth: and none can stay &is hand, or say unto &im, What ha!e 8ou done?" )=aniel >:+2-

This meansthat God knows all things. $e knows everything that has happened& and $e knows

everything that is going to happen.

God knows how many stars are in the sky. $e calls them by name. $e even knows the number of hairs

on your head #esus said& "!en the !ery hairs of your head are all numbered'")Luke 0:92.

1od 2no7s allthat we have said and done. $e even knows what we think $e knows every secret.

And $e sees us at all times. "he Bible says& "8ou God see me'")Genesis 08:062.


24/158

This meansthat God is without any sin. God is all light and glory. Because God is holy& $e hates sin

and loves righteousness. n the Bible darkness stands for sin. "he Bible says of God&"'God is light,

and in &im is no dar6ness at all")0 #ohn 0:12.

1od once spo2e to the prophet )saiahin a vision. A vision is something like a dream. n that

vision& saiah saw God upon $is throne. Around the throne of God& angels were praising God. "hey

were saying& "'&oly, holy, holy, is the L@*= of hosts: the whole earth is full of &is

glory")saiah 8:62.

%hen saiah saw the vision& he was afraid. "he vision showed him that God is holy& and he knew that

he was sinful. $e fell on his face and cried& "Woe is me For I am undone(((")saiah 8:12.

From the very moment you took the Lord Jesus as your Savior, you have

been on the narrow road that leads to Heaven. Along the way, you and I

will meet other Christians who are also on the road to Heaven. It is

wonderul to be a Christian, but we must reali!e that the road to Heaven

will not be easy. "hy# $e%ause we have many enemies.

The Bible tells us about three great enemies of the Christian (1) "the world," (2)

"the &esh," and (3) the devil.

"hat do these enemies do#They try to get us to sin. But God has made a ay

for us to ha!e !itory o!er them. #n this lesson e are going to see ho e an

o!erome these three enemies.

The Bible uses the ord "orld" in se!eral di$erent ays. %ometimes, it refers to

this earthhih God reated. %ometimes it refers to the 'eo'lein the orld as in

&ohn 3'1 here the Bible says, "For God so loved the world."

A third meaningis found in 1 &ohn 2'1 here the Bible says, "Love not the

world."*hat is the meaning of "the orld" here+ #t means the attra%tive things

o the worldhih %atan uses to dra us aay from God.

(od wants me to love Himith all my heart. %atan does not ant me to lo!e

God, so he uses the attrati!e things of the orld to dra me aay from lo!ing God


32/158

and anting to do is ill. *hat are some of the things %atan uses to dra me

aay from God+ %atan may use T.-. or the mo!ies, or a ertain ind of musi, or

something else that # lo!e.

%ome of these things may not be sinful in themsel!es, but if they begin to tae /rst

0lae in my life, that is hen they beome sinful for me. #f they ause me to s0end

less time in 0rayer and reading Gods *ord or ee0 me aay from hurh on the

ords ay, they are sinful for me. The Bible says, "Love not the world, neitherthe things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the

Father is not in him"(1 &ohn 2'1).

The Bible says that Christ "gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us

from this present evil world."God ants us to o!erome the orld and its sinful

attrations.

How %an I over%ome )the world)#

I over%ome the worldby lo!ing the ord &esus ith all my heart. The orld has

many attrati!e things and sinful 0leasures, but they do not really satisfy my heart.

4nly Christ an do this.

#f &esus Christ is your %a!ior, remember that e li!es in you. e is alays ith you.

*here!er you go, you tae im ith you. *hate!er you listen to, &esus listens to it

ith you. #f you really lo!e im, you ill not ant to do things that hurt is heart.

5esh is our sinful human nature. 6nother name for "the 5esh" is %78. #t is hat eare inside.

*he greatest enemyof the Christian is the de!il. e is also alled %atan. The Bible

says that this orld is under the ontrol of %atan. e is alled "the god ruler# of

this world"

(2 Corinthians ').

%atans ob@et is to destroy 0eo0le, and he ants to destroy you. The Bible says of

him,"your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, wal$s about, see$ing

whom he may devour destroy#"(1 ;eter ').

Satan uses the attra%tive thingsof the orld to deei!e and destroy 0eo0le.

Aoung 0eo0le are one of %atans main targets. e deei!es them into using drugs,

alohol, and tobao. %atan uses /lthy musi, dirty T- shos, and seDy mo!ies to

0ut rong thoughts into their minds and get them in!ol!ed in seD. e lo!es to see

hildren and teenagers rebelling against their 0arents.

How does Satan destroy 'eo'le#e destroys them by deei!ing them. %atan

deei!es 0eo0le by ausing them to belie!e a lie. &esus said of %atan, "He was a

murderer from the beginning beause there is no truth in him. When he

spea$s a lie, he spea$s of his own% for he is a liar, and the father ofit"(&ohn 'b).

Word He has told us many thin#s that are #oin# to happen

Derhaps one thing you have been wondering about is this: =%ill the Lord #esus ever come to this earth

again@= "he answer is& =Yes& $e will= "he Lord #esus said& "I go to #re#are a #lace for you( 4nd if

I go and #re#are a #lace for you, I WILL 1@M 4G4IB'")#ohn 07:&62.

n this lesson we are going to see what will happen when #esus comes again. But& first& let us think

briefly about what happened when $e was here the first time.

"he Lord #esus did many wonderful things while $e was on earth& but the main reason $e came was

to die for us.

The Lord Jesus 7as cruciiedabout nine o?clock in the morning. $e died about three o?clock that

afternoon.

A man named Joseph o Arimathaeaasked for the body of #esus. $e and a friend named

!icodemus tenderly prepared the body of #esus for burial. "hey wrapped $is body in linen cloth. "hen


52/158

they placed #esus? body in #oseph?s new tomb which was carved out of rock. A large stone was rolled

across the entrance.

Jesus 7as dead"he disciples were very sad. ,ven though the Lord #esus had told them that $e

would rise from the dead on the third day& they really did not believe it at that time.

arly in the mornin# o the third dayFthree women came to put spices on $is body. %hen they

arrived at the tomb& they found that the stone had been rolled away. An angel spoke to them and

said: "Fear not' for I 6now that you see6 .esus, which was crucified( &e is not here: for &e

is risen, as &e said( 1ome, see the #lace where the Lord lay")>atthew 3:1&82.

"he women saw that the body of #esus was no longer in the tomb. "hey were puIIled and frightened.

"hey ran to tell the disciples. %hen >ary >agdalene met Deter and #ohn& she told them what had

happened. Deter and #ohn ran to the tomb. "hey& too& found the tomb empty e5cept for the grave

clothes.

LaterF $ary returned to the tom"As she was standing outside the tomb weeping& the Lord #esus

appeared and spoke to her.


53/158

"he Lord #esus had risen from the grave in $is resurrection body of flesh and bones $ow did the

disciples know that $e had a body@ "hey saw $im& they touched $im& they talked with $im& and they

ate with $im.

Jesus 7as alive>"hey could hardly wait to tell "homas the wonderful news But when they told

"homas& he did not believe them. "homas said:

"nless I shall see in &is hands the #rint of the nails, and #ut my finger into the #rint of the

nails, and thrust my hand into &is side, I will not belie!e"

).ohn 7:2-(

,ight days later& the disciples were again in the same room. "his time "homas was with them. Again

the Lord #esus appeared to them and said: "9eace be unto you(""hen the Lord #esus said to

"homas& "*each your finger here, and behold My hands and reach your hand here, and

thrust it into My side and be not faithless, but belie!ing")#ohn ;:92.

Thomas did not dou"tany longer. $e worshipped #esus saying& =>y Lord and my God=

"he Lord #esus said& "Thomas, because you ha!e seen Me, you ha!e belie!ed blessed are

they that ha!e not seen, and yet ha!e belie!ed("

The Lord Jesus appearedon earth for forty days after $is resurrection. $e was seen by many

people. n one occasion& $e appeared to over 1;; believers. Before the Lord #esus went back to

$eaven& $e said to $is disciples& "4ll #ower is gi!en unto Me in hea!en and in earth")>atthew

3:032.


54/158

"hen& one day& when the disciples were with $im& the Lord #esus went up& up& up into the sky. "he

disciples watched $im until $e disappeared in a cloud. #esus had gone back to $eaven.

%hile they stood looking up toward the sky& two men in white clothing stood by them and said: "8ou

men of Galilee , why do you stand gaCing u# into hea!en? This same .esus, which is ta6en

u# from you into hea!en, shall so come in li6e manner as you ha!e seen &im go into

%hat does this verse say@ t says that the Lord Jesus 7ill come a#ainin the very same way in

which $e went back to $eaven. "he disciples saw #esus go back to $eaven& and the believers who are

living when #esus comes again will see $im at that time.

"he Lord #esus is preparing beautiful homes in $eaven for us& and one day $e is coming back to take

us to be with $im. $e said& "I go to #re#are a #lace for you( 4nd if I go and #re#are a #lace for

better than being here.

it is in $eaven& we would never want to bring them back here.

"he Lord #esus said& "I am the resurrection, and the life: he that belie!eth in Me, though he
