Nearly nine out of ten people in the United States say they believe in heaven, according to a recent ABC News poll. But what exactly do people think of when they think of an afterlife, and what do they believe is required to get there?   Every culture has wrestled with the question of an afterlife, and most have come to a similar conclusion: The bad end up in Hell, the good go to Heaven.

I believe that I will go to heaven, not because I have earned my way but because I have surrendered my life over to Christ.  What do you believe?   If you think it doesn’t matter what you believe about heaven, THINK AGAIN!  What we think about heaven can be seen in our perspective on life.  Do we have an earthly perspective that focuses on our behaviors here on earth (being honest, kind, loving) or a heavenly perspective where our life reflects the love of Christ, focusing on our salvation and eternal life?

Scripture states:

Colossians 3:1-2, NKJV: If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.

John 5:24, NKJV: Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.

So what do you think?????
