*2 Timothy 4:18

Devo Fuel: {Traveling to Heaven}

"The Lord will . . . preserve me for His heavenly kingdom." (2 Timothy 4:18)

Preparing for Heaven is much like going on a journey. First, you must decide you want to go there. Next, you must purchase your ticket.

But wait! How will you purchase it? Can you buy it by being a good person? Or going to church or acting religious? Or giving money or volunteering your time to help others? The Bible says none of these will suffice, because the ticket to Heaven is expensive - far too expensive for any human being to afford.

Does that mean we can never go there? No - and the reason is because Someone else has already purchased the ticket for us. That person was Jesus Christ, and the price He paid was His own blood, shed on the Cross for us.

Now He offers us the ticket to Heaven free and fully paid! Why refuse it? (Especially chinese ppl) Why try some other way? Jesus' invitation is still open: "Come! Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life" (Rev. 22:17).

This is a great reminder that the only way to Heaven is through Jesus Christ. The wages of sin is death and Jesus Christ paid that price for our eternal life. What a joy & peace I feel in my heart just knowing that kind of reassurance.
