What will Heaven be like? How can we get there? Pastor Gary answers these two questions today’s study from John 14. Many people think that if they are good enough they will get to Heaven when they die, but then the question becomes, “How good is good enough?” Thankfully, Jesus died on a cross for our sins because He knew that we are not good enough-there is nothing we can do to earn or deserve Heaven. Yet Jesus opened Heaven wide through His sacrifice on the cross for all who would believe, and then He made a bold declaration that He is the only way to Heaven! Heaven is a choice. At the close of today’s teaching, Pastor Gary will help you to understand how to make that choice for Jesus so that you can go to Heaven when you die.
00:00 - Introduction
12:26 - Jesus talks about Heaven (John 14)
12:37 - - To prepare them for His departure from earth after His resurrection
13:13 - - To prepare them (and us) for OUR departure from earth when we die
19:08 - “Heaven” - mentioned more than 275 times in the New Testament (Another 300+ references in the OT)
19:25 - Heaven is the habitation of God and the eternal home for those who trust Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior
20:35 - Heaven is located somewhere above the earth, beyond outer space
21:57 - Heave has streets of gold, gates of pearl, walls of jasper, foundations of precious stones, and a crystal-clear river.
23:10 - Heaven is illuminated solely by the presence of God and His glory (Rev. 21:23)
23:39 - Heaven is a place of "no mores"...no more death, or mourning, or crying, or pain; no more sorrow or sin, or sickness (Rev. 21:4)
24:35 - Heaven is a place of reunions with loved ones and friends who knew Christ as Savior.
29:24 - Jesus said: “ I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6)

Our Lord said, "Amen, Amen, I say to you, whoever receives the one I send, receives Me and whoever receives Me receives the One who sent Me (John 13:20; Matt 10:40) and "Whoever listens to you listens to Me. Whoever rejects you rejects Me and rejects the One who sent Me (Luke 10:16)". Therefore, in order for us to receive and listen to Christ Our Savior, we need to receive and listen to the one Our Lord sent and not anyone else. Who are the ones Our Lord sent to us for our salvation? They are the Apostles and their successors, the ministers of His Church built on Peter (Matt 16:18-19, 28:19-20). Through the teachings of these ministers, the dispenser of the mysteries of God (1 Cor 3:5, 4:1), we learn the True Faith revealed by Our Lord and become true believers and members of His Mystical Body (Col 1:18, 1 Cor 12:27, Eph 5:23), the Church. St. Paul said, "Remember your prelates who have spoken the word of God to you; whose Faith follow. Jesus Christ, yesterday, today, and the same forever; and, not be lead away with various and strange doctrines (Heb 13:7-9). Obey your prelates (bishops) and be subject to them; for they watch as being to render account of your souls (Heb 13:17)." Our Lord made it clear that, in order for us to be saved, we must follow the teachings of His Church (Mark 16:16), One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic Church with whom He and Holy Spirit remain always until the end of ages (John 14:16-17, Matt 28:20). Whoever, whom Our Lord did not send or who reject the teachings of His Church, are wolves in sheep's clothing and, therefore, shouldn't be listened to and must be avoided. He that knows God, hears us. He that is not of God, hears us not. By this we know the spirit of Truth and the spirit of error (1 John 4:6). Without the Sacraments instituted by Our Lord and administered by His Church, one can't have the Sanctifying Grace required for salvation. Therefore one must be a faithful member of the Church to be saved. Otherwise, whatever one does, for example, read Bible, pray to God, preach God, and try to do good to others, it will be no avail. Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus (outside the Church, no salvation) is a Catholic Dogma (Catechism No. 846). For further information on this, please watch The Forgotten Dogma: No Salvation Outside the Catholic Church by Father Isaac Mary Relyea on KZfaq.

@@speedoggy On True Faith, Our Lord says (excerpt from Maria Valtorta's Notebooks 1943, pp.271-272): "There is only One God, One Christ, and One Faith. This True Faith, which was born with man and became perfected over the centuries by My coming upon the faith of the patriarchs and prophets. This Faith -- of which the Church is the Guardian and the repository of the treasures of the Word -- is not changeable, for it shares its Creator's attributes of immutability and perfection. Look closely. What did Faith assure the ancient fathers of? My coming, such an excelling act of Charity that it alone suffices to make people sure of a God, the Father of the human race. It gave assurance of the eternal life reserved for all those who have died in the Lord and announced eternal punishment for the transgressors against the Law of the Lord. It gave assurance of Our Triune Being and the existence of the Holy Spirit, from whom every supernatural spiritual light comes. What has ensured the Faith of Christians for the last 20 centuries? The same things. Have I perhaps modified the Faith? No. Rather, I have confirmed it and built around it the stronghold of My Catholic, Apostolic, Roman Church, in which there is the Truth deposited by Myself. Until the last day and the last man, the Faith is and remains 'That.' There cannot be another. For if you tell Me that the world is evolving, I reply to you that this evolution is not an obstacle to the Faith, but, rather, should make it increasingly easy for you to believe. To believe does not mean to be gullible. To believe is to accept and comprehend, according to the light of intelligence, what is said to you by those who have never lied: the Holy Ones of God, beginning with the patriarchs. To believe is to understand, in the light of Grace which I have brought to you full and superabundant, what still remains obscure to the intelligence. To believe is, above all, to love. Credulity is foolish. To believe is holy because it is for one's spirit to be obedient to the Lord's mysteries. Blessed are those who do not alter their Faith. Blessed are those who remain faithful to the Lord."

No brother, Don't say that St. Peter was a failure, which means Jesus and His Father chose the wrong man as the very important disciple, are you saying this? No sir. Can you say why St Peter was chosen for preaching on the day of Pentecost? he wouldn't have chosen for that duty, if he was a failure, right? St Peter was the most genuine and innocent person that he was chosen as the first disciple, you got it? Every time when he makes mistakes in understanding Jesus, wasn't he himself proving his genuineness and innocence? Please refer to the Holy Bible again on this subject.

Jesus told Christians to pray for God's Kingdom to come and for His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven, didn't he? God's Kingdom is a heavenly government ruled by Jesus Christ as King. Soon Jesus will bring beautiful changes to the earth. There will be no more death, pain or sorrow on earth, Revelation 21:4,5! No more wickedness on earth, Psalms 37:9-11! After Armageddon the meek will inherit the earth and live forever on it, Psalms 37:29; Matthew 5:5; Proverbs 2:21,22! The earth will be cultivated into a Paradise like God intended in the beginning, Genesis 1:28; Isaiah 55:11! Jesus will do on a grand scale what he did when he walked the earth including raising those who are asleep in death, John 5:28,29! There will only be one government over the entire earth forever, Daniel 2:44! Jesus said that this good news of the Kingdom would be preached about in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come, Matthew 24:14! In order to receive everlasting life and the blessings that God has promised, we must worship the Father with spirit and truth, John 4:22-24; Isaiah 42:8; Psalms 83:18!
