Does It Matter If I Go To Heaven?

IllustrationAnalogy★★★★

You say, “Mark get real, if I’m not in heaven God will not even know it. He won’t even know it if I’m not there.” Look my friend, you say He’s got 3 billion other people, 5 billion other people, 6 billion other people that are there, how can I be worth it for God? Let’s suppose you have four children and one dies.

I go to your house and I comfort you like this, Oh mamma don’t worry about the children that died because you have three more. You can have 25% more money to buy shoes for the others. When you have ice cream now, you have so much more to give to everyone else.

Don’t worry about the one that died. Some people don’t even have three they have two. You should be happy. What’s she going to do?

Australian mothers are going to hit crazy American preachers who say things like that, right? Look, how many children can a mother love? If you have two you couldn’t have three because you couldn’t love them right. What about four?

If you have seven could you love them equally as well as you love one? And the God who is infinite from all eternity has a place in his heart just for you. If you miss out on heaven, He’s going to be lonely for your love throughout all eternity. You are special to God.

You’re not some skin covering bone on some planet here. How does that make you feel?

The point

God values each individual so intimately that He would miss them personally throughout eternity if they were absent from heaven.
