Sorry, there are going to be a lot of RYM notes on here, but I loved it and I want to post!!
What happens when I die?? Heaven and Hell
Satan wants us to live a life of fear, Christ wants to free us from that. Death, sickness, rejection, failures are all a breath away. We have come face to face with a reality where a world is broken. We long for a world that isn't broken.
Our heart responds with the baseballs of this world in 2 ways: 1) rejoice in heaven and anticipate God's return or 2) try to recreate paradise on earth.
We try to create for ourselves a place of protection. the Garden of Eden was perfect but it has been lost.
So what are we looking for? We are looking for the kingdom of heaven restored. That will only happen when Christ returns. The worst thing we have ever done is recreate paradise. We desperately want to be happy now so we try to recreate paradise. We aren't patient enough to wait for heaven. God isn't in the business of providing for us what we think we need to be happy.
GOD HIMSELF CAN PROVIDE CONTENTMENT.
