Your Life Testimony in Heaven

And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him – Genesis 5 :24.

Genesis 5:24

I sat there as they paraded down the high street of heaven. What a luminous congregation of saints they were! One by one, they filed by. I wanted to ask:

  • Abel, what was in his sacrifice that pleased God so much that it made Cain that jealous, 
  • Enoch, how his walk pleased the Lord so much that He took him away,
  • Noah, how he survived the forty days in the ark with all those animals, 
  • Abraham, how we felt when he raised the knife to slay Isaac,
  • Isaac, how he felt when his father was tying him up on Mt. Moriah,
  • Jacob, how it felt when his uncle Laban deceived him,
  • Rebekah, why she schemed with Jacob to get the blessing of Esau,
  • Moses, how he felt when God denied him entry into Canaan, 
  • Aaron, why he capitulated to the pressure from the people to make them the golden calf, 
  • Joshua, why he did not disciple a successor as Moses had done with him,
  • Gideon, why he could not believe God without a sign,
  •  Samuel, why his children became like Eli’s children,
  • Job, how he endured the unthinkable suffering without breaking, 
  • David, the inside story with his affair with Bathsheba – what was he thinking,
  • Solomon, why, with all his wisdom, he disobeyed God by marrying women from heathen nations, 
  • Jeremiah, how he loved his people so much that he wept over their sins,
  • Ezekiel, how he survived lying on his side for so many days, bearing the sins of Israel and Judah,
  • Daniel, how he maintained his integrity in the heathen culture,
  • Peter, why he wanted to know about John’s fate,
  • James & John, why they wanted to call fire from heaven to destroy the Samaritans who would not welcome Jesus, 
  • Nicodemus, why he went under cover of night to Jesus – what did he fear,
  • Zacchaeus, how he felt when Jesus stopped, looked up, and called him by name, 
  • Paul, how he was able to maintain his passion and zeal for the Lord,

I don’t have space to continue with Stephen, Phillip, Barnabas, Timothy, Titus, Silas, Lydia, Pricilla, Aquila, Apollos, James, Jude, Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Wesley.

And I know you have your questions for all of them. 

But what question will somebody want to ask you in heaven? What does it speak about your life here on earth? Might now be the time to prayerfully reflect on it?
