“Our Hope of a Heavenly Home” 2 Corinthians 5:1-10

TRANSCRIPT

Date: April 28, 2024 Author: Wayne J. Edwards

Jonathan Edwards was an American revivalist preacher, philosopher, and Congregationalist theologian. Edwards wrote, “It becomes us to spend this life only as a journey toward heaven . . . to which we should subordinate all other concerns of life. Why should we labor for or set our hearts on anything else, but that which is our proper end and true happiness?” In his early twenties, Edwards composed a set of life resolutions. One read, “Resolved, to endeavor to obtain for myself as much happiness, in the other world, as I possibly can.” Unfortunately, even many believers find no joy when they think about heaven. This Sunday, we conclude our doctrinal series of sermons: The Church: The Pillar and Ground of Truth . The Sunday morning sermon is entitled: “Our Hope of a Heavenly Home.” The Sunday evening sermon is entitled: “What Life is Like in Heaven.”

The number one question on the mind of every person regardless of age, is what happens to us when we die.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness…

Several books have been written by those who claimed to have had near-death experiences, including being transported into the realm of heaven.

In 2 Corinthians 4:7 – 5:1, the Apostle Paul used four words to describe our temporal bodies.

According to Genesis 1:26, God made man in His own image, which means He made man to live forever physically and spiritually.

The Bible says there will be two resurrections:

Heaven is a place of security , acceptance, victory and praise ; a place of perfect peace and rest ; a place where our fellowship with God, and with God’s people, will never end , for we shall see Him face to face, and bask in the wonder of how we were saved by His grace!
