Every Person in Heaven Will Be Holy

Romans 5:10

For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

God is holy, holy, holy.  Sin cannot exist in His presence.  To have any type of sin remaining means eternal separation from the Father in heaven.  Thus, every person in heaven must be without sin.  There cannot be even the slightest stain.  Every person in heaven will be holy.

Jesus gave up His life for the atonement of all sin.  He died to save us from the penalty of our sin.  He died to work a great change in us.  He died so that we might be acceptable in the presence of His Father in heaven.

The Good News of the Gospel is that God provided the way for our complete cleansing through the death of His Son, Jesus, on the Cross.  It is the shed blood of Jesus that washes us clean and allows us to stand before the Father white as snow forever.  Our Heavenly Father required nothing from us except to accept Jesus as Our Savior.  Jesus did all that was required for us to stand before Almighty God.  Everything that was required was finished on the Cross.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, we thank You for allowing us to have eternal access to Your heavenly kingdom.  We praise You.  We love You.  We bless Your name.  We rejoice in knowing that we will worship You forever.  We pray that the Holy Spirit will reveal to us everything in our lives that is displeasing to You.  We ask for the grace to walk the perfect path of sanctification that You have set aside for us through the sacrifice of Your Son.  May we live in the fullness of the One who gave His life for us.  May we surrender daily to our Blessed Hope and Assurance, Jesus Christ.
