John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
We all have our connections with people and things. In sports, our connections could be the home team or a player on the team that we know may be even related too. In business, we have work connections for sales and service. And these connections could determine our involvement and interest. It's all based on the connections that we have.
So what is your connection with Heaven. Does it involve Him. Some say I don't always live for Him, but if I do some good deeds and give to the poor, that will connect me to heaven. Yet the bible says "not of works" see Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
If anything, God has to work on us. For our standing with Him, as a child of God is eternal, we are already seated in heaven with Him. But our state or spiritual condition is variable, and we need to allow God to work in our life to help us inwardly and outwardly to be conformed to the image of his dear son. Also, see the Rich young ruler mentioned in the gospels. He had all and knew all, yet The Lord Jesus said that he lack one thing.
The call of salvation will always come first and then will there will be a service to do. And our connection with Him is through the Lord Jesus Christ. God in the flesh and God became man. But God demonstrated His love toward us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. And the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord, as this was spoken of in Romans 5 & 6.
Dear friend what is your connection to Him and to heaven, it should be through the Lord Jesus Christ.
Call on Him today, for whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. For with the heart, man believes and with mouth confession is made. Ye must be born again !!
God Bless you,
