Like A Child

For my precious grandson!

MiMi, are there any colors in heaven?
Yes precious there is, would you like for me to tell you what the bible says about color in heaven?

Luke 18:17
Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.”

The faith and wonder of a four year old child, as yet unstained by the world!
The questioning heart that knows a little about Jesus but longs for more!
The seeds already planted by parents, grandparents and faithful teachers at church and day school, yes Lord!
These tender hearts longing for the truth of the gospel!
Lets give them what God has commanded us, "Go and make disciples"!

Rev. 21:11-27
11 having the glory of God, its radiance like a most rare jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal.
12 It had a great, high wall, with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and on the gates the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel were inscribed-
13 on the east three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates.
14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 And the one who spoke with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city and its gates and walls.
16 The city lies foursquare, its length the same as its width. And he measured the city with his rod, 12,000 stadia. Its length and width and height are equal.
17 He also measured its wall, 144 cubits by human measurement, which is also an angel's measurement.
18 The wall was built of jasper, while the city was pure gold, like clear glass.
19 The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every kind of jewel. The first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald,
20 the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst.
21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the gates made of a single pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.
22 And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb.
23 And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb.
24 By its light will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it,
25 and its gates will never be shut by day-and there will be no night there.
26 They will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations.
27 But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.

But MiMi he asks with a very deep sigh, is my name written in the Lamb's book of life?
Son, would you like for me to tell you how to get your name written there?
Yes MiMi! It is only written there by the mercy of The Lord, son.

1 Cor.6:19-20
19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,
20 for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

Titus 3:4-7
4 But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared,
5 he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,
6 whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,
7 so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

Son, we are all born as sinners into a fallen world where Satan reigns to wreak havoc!
It is his intention to tempt us to stay in our sin.
Only through our study of the scriptures, our faith in Christ and standing on the promise of God can we withstand Satan.
Satan is already defeated by the death of Christ and His resurrection.
