A Loving Heart (Part 1)
Everyone has his own view or philosophy of life, which directs him to pursue what he desires: wealth, fame, power, worldly pleasures, religions, good health, longevity, etc. However, God’s Word tells us that physical life of man is only temporary. No matter how long man can live, he cannot escape his death and then will leave behind his loved ones and all his material possessions. His soul will last forever and be judged: whether enjoying eternal bliss in Heaven or suffering eternal torture in Hell, “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Heb 9:27), and “Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world” (Matt 25:34), and “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death” (Rev 21:8).
There is one thing that will never perish and that you and I may bring along to Heaven after death, and that is a loving heart, “Charity (love – agape) never faileth” (1 Cor 13:8). This is not human selfish love but God’s holy love as He is Love (agape) and the Source of love (agape). In order to have this divine love, you and I must be God’s children and “partakers of the divine nature,” which is love (2 Peter 1:4), “Beloved, let us love one another: for love (agape) is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love (agape)” (1 John 4:7-8).
Have you sincerely repented of your sins and received the Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour so that your hearts may be transformed (regenerated) and become the children of God? Please read our next article.
