Would You Want to Be in Heaven If God Wasn't There?

Justin Taylor, one our assistants at Desiring God, was riding on the plane with me back from Philadelphia, and the guy next to him got into a conversation about Christ. And the question Justin put to him that bore right to the heart was, "Would you want to be in heaven if God weren't there?" Blew the guy away. He said, "Never even thought about that question."

So I'm closing by asking you, "Would you want to be in heaven if Jesus weren't there?" You could have all the health you wanted. You could have all the relationships with friends you wanted. You could have a clean conscience. You could have your favorite toys and recreation - just no Jesus. Would you want to be there? A woman came forward in our church two weeks ago whose tears were just running down her face. She quoted me that question that I had asked and she said, "Yeah, I would. I would, and I'm scared of myself." She was honest, and we need to be honest.

God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.

"I love, therefore I am in I Am.  God is my life."
