Luke 16:25
25 But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish.
What are your good things? It may seem like an odd question, but that one question distinguishes Lazarus from the rich man. It will determine Heaven or Hell. It is what the Old Testament Law was built to show you. In the end, God will judge you based on what you loved most. As Jesus said, the whole law rests on the command to love God and loving God, to love others.
So, what are your good things? If God is not it, you’re missing out on Heaven. You will miss out on Heaven in the ultimate sense of where your soul goes, but more than that. Heaven isn’t primarily a gold-plated city without disease. Heaven is the place where God is and where we are with Him forever. If you can know Him now, Heaven will invade your life even now.
Prayer prompt: Lord, I want You more than anything else.
