Why do I go to church?
7. It turns my heart toward heaven. I’m not living this life just for as long as I have breath. I know that there’s more than this life…this is not as good as it gets. Going to church reminds me that, because of the miracle that took place on the first Easter, I have heaven to look forward to. God raised Jesus to life, and because of that, anyone who trusts in Him no longer has to fear death, because physical death means the beginning of eternity with Christ in heaven.
At church I’m also encouraged to live the most fulfilling life possible. God promises the abundant life…both here on earth and in life after death in Heaven.
Thank you, Jesus, for your sacrifice on the cross. Thank you, Father, for raising Jesus from the dead. What a glorious day Easter is! May we honor you in our worship tomorrow.
For this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:17-18
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. John 10:10
