"…there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness…" — 2 Timothy 4:8
One who doubts often says, 'I fear I will not enter heaven.' But fear not — all the people of God shall enter heaven. What a joyful thought, that our portion in the Lord is secure, and that there remains a rest for His people. As true children of God, we cannot forfeit His eternal blessings; He has prepared for His people a beautiful home of rest, and His love, favor, and blessing will fully manifest in the life of every one of His children who will live with Him forever.
So if you truly believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, if you have repented of sin, if you have been renewed in heart — you are one of God's people, and there is a place reserved for you. A crown is laid up for you, and there are the Heavenly Father's special provisions for you. No one else will have your portion; it is reserved in heaven for you, and you will have it.
For there will be no vacant throne in glory when all the believers in the Lord are gathered into His presence. Let this give us joy and peace to stand strong in the Lord in this world — living to please Him, obeying Him, and doing His will.
May the Lord continue to strengthen and encourage you with His heavenly blessings. Amen!
