Summary: Not too long ago, my friend Paul Chalmers died and went to heaven. At his memorial service, they had a poem that they read and I would like to read it to you. But first, there is a Bible verse to back it up. It says in Philippians 1.23- “I desire to depart and be with Christ which is better by far.” Every believer in Jesus Christ can know that when they die they go to heaven instantly. Because that is the promise of God! This is the poem that they put on the bulletin when they did the memorial service for Paul Chalmers. Think. Think of stepping on the shore and finding it is heaven. Think of taking a hold of a hand and finding it is God’s hand. Think of breathing a new air and finding it is celestial air. Think of feeling invigorated and finding it immortality. Think of passing from storm and tempest to an unknown calm. Think of waking and finding you’re home, holding Jesus’ hand. Man, isn’t that the most fantastic thing. Knowing Jesus Christ is eternal life. Do you have Him in your heart? Have you invited Him into your life? Do you have the assurance of heaven when you die?
