The Bible says that “…. God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3: 16).
This means that the Christian has been forgiven sins and after death will go to heaven. There is no need to fear what happens after death. rather than facing an angry God, we will face a God who loves us and is our heavenly Father .
But is this all that a Christian has? No! There is more —-much more.
Jesus, said, “…. I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10).
The psalmist said, ” The Lord is my Shepherd , I shall not be in want (psalm 23:1).
The Bible teaches that we are to put our hope in God who: “…. richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment” (I Timothy 6:17).
The Bible also teaches that “…. the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control” (Galatians 5:22 ,23).
Yes, the Christian has the fruit of the Spirit, and the promise of eternal life, when by faith I accept God’s gift of his Son into my life, and I am born again.
Yes, we enjoy the prospect of heaven, but we also enjoy the goodness of God on a daily basis. As believers we have blessings now and also then.
