Have you got your ticket to heaven yet? Are you on the right bus?
1) You need to purchase tickets to gain entry into a train or a bus. You also require a ticket for concerts and circuses. The ticket to heaven is Jesus.
Have you accepted Jesus into your heart?
John 3:3 (NKJV)
Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
John 14:6 (NKJV)
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
2) Buying the ticket is not enough. You need to have your ticket with you when you enter the concert hall, bus or platform to get into the train. If not, you will not be allowed to enter in. Therefore don't despise your ticket. Don't lose it. Don't throw it away.
If you are born again, be diligent not to quench the Holy Spirit within you. Listen to Him, submit to Him and obey His voice until the end. He is the One Who will lead you into The Presence of Almighty God when your life on earth ends.
John 10:9 (NKJV)
I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.
Ephesians 4:30-32 (NKJV)
And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.
And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ forgave you.
3) Once you are on the bus to New Port, make sure you stay on board till the bus reaches New Port. Even if the bus is crowded and the ride uncomfortable and even if there are undesirable passengers on board your bus, stick it out until you reach your destination.
There is only One vehicle that reaches heaven. Jesus Christ is The Only Way for us to heaven. At times the journey is difficult and we may feel like giving up and getting off the bus and getting into the easy, worldly lifestyle! You may feel far too stretched to continue to love your brothers and sisters in Christ! If you are willing, God will enable you to endure 'In Christ' until you reach your destination.
1 John 2:28 (NKJV)
And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.
1 Peter 1:6-9 (NKJV)
In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials,
that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ,
whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory,
receiving the end of your faith--the salvation of your souls.
See you soon on that beautiful shore!!
