Heaven IS For Real

May 15, 2014 | By Chuck

"Heaven IS For Real" I read the book a while back and loved it. I was so excited to hear that it would be a movie. Kristy and I recently had the opportunity to see the movie "Heaven Is For Real" and we both loved it. There are things that took place with that little boy that can't be explained away. When you consider his knowledge of certain events the only logical answer is heaven is for real. I knew before I read the book or saw the movie that heaven is for real. I didn't read the book or watch the movie for confirmation just affirmation of what I already knew. I don't understand why some doubt the existence of heaven and God. After seeing all the negative things that we see in this world even if I was not a member of the church I think I'd still believe in heaven. Just that hope for a better place after this life is enough to keep even those of little faith going day to day. The hope of heaven is what keeps me motivated to do what I do. I believe with all my heart that heaven is for real and that God is there. The apostle Paul wrote, "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain."(Phil.1:21) Folks, in all honesty, death is only a gain if there is a heaven and you are a Christian. Death was a gain to Paul because he had the "desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far."(Phil.1:23) In other words, Paul was looking forward to heaven. After all, "our citizenship is in heaven."(Phil.3:20) I don't care what anyone says, heaven IS for real. Chuck Ball
