I would like to go to?????
Colossians 1:5 (KJV) For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;
That word “hope” is not a word that carries the idea of being somewhat negative. Let’s look at this word “hope” for a moment. When “hope” is used as a verb it means “ to cherish a desire with anticipation : to want something to happen or be true” like “we are hoping for the best.” When “hope” is used as a noun it means “desire accompanied by expectation of or belief in fulfillment” as “we came in hopes of seeing you.”
When we read “For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven” we are reading of a place “heaven” for the expectation of the belief or the fulfillment of Heaven. You do know according to the Bible everything that you and I read is true and will happen. Our Bible will always back up what we read Psalms 119:89 (KJV) For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
Psalms 119:103 (KJV) How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
Psalms 119:105 (KJV) Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Heaven is a real place. Oh but one might say all your information comes from the Bible. I would say not all but the answer to that question is not what the Bible says but unbelief in what the Bible has to say. Let me give a true real life illustration. My wife, daughter and myself were vacationing at Amelia Island. It was Sunday Morning and I was praying. As I was praying I said to the Lord in my prayer that I would like to go to Church (👏Me gustaría ir a la iglesia 💒)but I don’t know where to go. Maybe an hour went by and this lady whom I had never seen came out to her car and put something in it. It was a nice orange Mustang GT. Well she went back into the motel. She came back out and looked over in my direction and I said “nice car.” We started talking about her car and then she invited me to Church. She began to tell me about her Church, where it was located about her Pastor. Well I decided to go and went. What a great service and very friendly people. Why did I tell that story? Well remember me asking my Heavenly Father that I would like to go to Church but didn’t know where to go? No one knew that except me and my Heavenly Father. That is answered prayer. God heard my desire and sent a woman by the name of Amy to invite me to her Church.
