✝️ When you believe in Jesus, it is not primarily a solution for your life here on earth. You become a member of the kingdom of heaven (also referred to in the Bible as the kingdom of God): Mark 1:15, Matthew 5:3 . You are a citizen of heaven now: Philippians 3:20-21 .

​

🌿​ Yes, we receive incredible blessings right away, like: knowing God, trusting Him, and walking in His ways: Matthew 11:28-30, Hebrews 4:14-16, 2 Corinthians 5:17 .

​​

🌿 But this life will continue to have struggles: John 16:33 . God will walk through them with you (Psalm 23:1-6, 1 Peter 5:5-11) and use them to refine you and others: Romans 8:28-29 .

​

🌿 The apostle Peter sums it up well in 1 Peter 1:3-9 .

​

🌎 The primary goal of this life is for as many people as possible to be saved and become more like Jesus.

​

✝️ Jesus will return (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18), bringing the new, perfect, heaven and earth (Revelation 21:1-4) and it will be incredible and everlasting.
