How
Can You Be SURE You're Headed to Heaven?
When it comes to
where you'll spend eternity, many people hope they'll find a place in Heaven,
while others just assume their place is secure.
Rather than
guessing or presuming about the future, you can find in the book of 1 John a
definite answer about where you stand with God. As you learn how a person's
lifestyle reflects the character of the one to whom they belong--whether God or
the devil--you'll learn exactly what it means to walk in light rather than
darkness.
This enlightening
study will lead you to the confidence, peace, and joy that come from knowing without
a doubt that God IS your father and
Heaven IS your home.
If
you're similar to me, you probably find yourself often wondering the question, What does a genuine Christian look, and act,
like? You know in your heart of hearts what one *should* look and act like,
but attempting to live a Godly life in an ungodly world has taken a toll on you
from some of the "Christians" you've met: The ones who may act pure
and holy on Sunday at church and then dramatically switch personalities
throughout the week.
In
John 8:44, we are told--by Jesus--"You are of your father, the
devil." *Ouch.* Here we thought God was our father. Bring on the doubts...
Struggling
with doubts about our relationship with God is a terrible, horrifying,
miserable way to live life. Wondering brings a lack of peace, hoping a sense of
lessening confidence. **Anguish** is a theme to a life lived in this manner.
Yet,
there is hope that brings peace which surpasses all understanding! *How Do You
Know God's Your Father* is so much more than an average Bible study. The truth
that shines throughout each of the six weeks invokes passionate emotions, from
sheer joy and excitement to making even the most devout Christian feel
uncomfortable, as only the truth can.
Other
key themes that I found to be particularly helpful include: Walking in the
light versus walking in darkness; knowing AND abiding in God; the ways God
views our relationships with others; the importance of love; and eternal life.
Perhaps
you, yourself, have been struggling daily with questions of where you might
stand with God, or how to treat those you come across who claim to love God and
serve Him, yet their actions have hurt you (on purpose) or you can't understand
how to have a relationship with them. Yet, you find yourself not seeking the
answers--or any form of help--for a lack of time. This Bible study is perfect
for you. Throughout the course of six weeks, for only 40 minutes a day, your
questions will be answered via Scripture, as well as your own involvement with
each lesson.
Now
is the time for personal growth. Now is the time to know God really is your father. Now is the time to ensure you're headed for
eternal life in Heaven.
