His Word is True—“Believe (Trust) also in me” (John 14:1) “Believe that I know what I’m doing and what I’m saying. My word is true. You will see that in due time.” The Bible contains the words of life. B. We are going to heaven (V. 2) C. He Is Coming Back for us (v. 3) Thessalonians 4:13-18. Jesus didn’t say He would take us to Himself. He said He would receive us. Let’s review God’s three cures for heart trouble, that Jesus offered to comfort and strengthen you: • His Word is true. • We are going to heaven. • He is coming back to receive us. John 14:4: “And where I am going you know, and the way you know.” Titus 3:5-6 Acts 4:12 I Timothy 2:5 So what do you need to do to know w/ certainty that you’re heaven bound? • First, acknowledge that you are a sinner (Romans 3:23) • Second, recognize that Jesus Christ died on the cross for you. Nails did not hold Jesus to the cross. Love did—love for you and me. • Third, repent of your sins (Luke 13:3; Acts 17:30) • Receive Jesus Christ into your life as your Savior (Revelation 3:20; John 1:12) • Make your decision public (Matthew 10:32-33) • Do it now (II Corinthians 6:2). Don’t delay. Procrastination is one of Satan’s favorite tools. James 4:13-14 Matthew 12:30 John 3:18
