Since the beginning of human existence on Earth, God has chosen those who love Him to live with Him daily and also in eternity. Even in the days of the corruption of Judah, when it was delivered to the king of Babylon to learn that one should not trifle with Heaven, the Lord sets apart servants who are sensitive to His voice to live by His side forever. Daniel, Mishael, Azariah, Hananiah, and Ezekiel are good examples of this (Daniel 1; Ezekiel. 1). Man cannot count the saved, but he must believe in God.

This is the promise of the Most High to Abraham, the father of the faithful: his seed would multiply so greatly —his descendants would be so numerous—that it would be impossible to count them. In every generation, many act under the influence of the devil. However, there are also those who do good, for within them there is a feeling that they are different from the rest. Such a person believes in the Lord and seeks Him in order to be right with Him. You are one of the countless righteous!

For man, this is difficult to understand, but God, who makes a baby be formed in the mother’s womb and come to birth, can lead the lost to believe and submit to Him, being born again to enter His Kingdom. Divine wisdom is seen in the lives of those who feel compelled to get right with the Truth and pray, surrendering themselves to the One they cannot see, but who hears and helps them!

When Christ returns to take His Church, a phenomenon never before seen, we will be surprised by the number of the Lord's chosen ones (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Revelation 7:9-17). They form the people who will be in the Kingdom of perfection forever. Therefore, every time you are tempted to take a wrong step toward sin, step back and ask for forgiveness for these and other sinful desires, for you are already registered as a future citizen of Heaven.

God promised that Abraham's seed would be known throughout the world. Even if you consider yourself insignificant, know that the Lord has a plan for your life here on Earth and in Glory after your death. Never bargain away your eternal happiness nor exchange it for anything, for your heavenly Father has already prepared your home in the heavenly places. You will live with Him forever!

Produce spiritual children for the Lord, and you will be rewarded by Him on the day the eternal rewards are given (Galatians 4:19; Revelation 22:11), which will never be lost. After all, in Heaven, there is no moth, rust, or anything that can cause you loss (Matthew 6:20). This reward includes your life and happiness in the Kingdom of God. Strive not to fall into sin!

Glorious will be the Day when Christ comes to gather His Church! For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.  (1 Thessalonians 4:16) to rescue us from the world of perdition. Once in the Kingdom of Heaven, we will no longer be shaken or tempted, because neither sin nor the devil will never enter there. Hallelujah! 

In Christ, with love,
