Heaven and Hell: The Choices That Define Our Spiritual Journey
Every soul, according to religious teachings, ultimately finds itself faced with a choice between the two eternal realms: Heaven and Hell. The path to these destinies varies widely, but the journey to heaven is widely considered easier for those who make a conscious choice to align their lives with the divine.
Choose the Easier Path
The path to hell is easier because all one needs to do is do nothing. There is no greater guarantee of an eternal descent into darkness than the decision to abstain from making efforts towards spiritual growth. The Bible encapsulates this with the simple statement: ”Easy do nothing, go to hell.” Conversely, making a conscious effort and inviting Jesus into one's heart is the simple way to reach heaven.
How then, does one achieve this relatively straightforward entry into heaven? The key lies in accepting the supremacy of Jesus Christ and actively turning towards Him, repenting of one's sins, and committing to His way of righteousness.
Heaven in True Perspective
We often live in a reality that is often described as a ‘realm of hell’ or ‘earth’, but perhaps the universe has a shared cosmic consciousness that draws analogies to the majestic and pure heavens. However, it is crucial to understand that we are not truly in heaven in the biblical sense when we look at the night sky, which is a far cry from celestial splendor. There are only two realms: heaven and hell, and the former is not hard to reach if we but seek it with all our hearts.
According to biblical wisdom, Satan, also known as Lucifer, is the ruler of this world, leading us in a path of darkness and oppression. However, this does not negate the possibility of change and redemption. Christ, as the ultimate redeemer, has gone to battle with Satan and fought for our freedom to return to the grace and purity of heaven.
A Spiritual Evolution
Our journey back to heaven is not just a return to paradise, but a spiritual one. We are urged to evolve spiritually through the 9 realms of existence, with the human realm being the highest level within the animal kingdom. It is through these trials of spiritual growth that we refine ourselves and align with the divine.
Our ultimate goal is to return to the 10th realm, Paradise, the highest heaven. This realm is where Paul ascended to the 3rd heaven in his spiritual journey. The journey to this realm requires a change in our negative, selfish, and flawed nature, including our desires for greed and materialism.
The Harder Path of Transformation
To achieve transformation, it is requisite to change our negative traits and align our thoughts and actions with the divine. This process involves continually striving to refine our character, committing to a renewed purity of heart, and following the teachings of Jesus Christ. It is through this path of transformation that we can ultimately return to the purity and joy of heaven.
For those seeking a clearer understanding of these spiritual teachings, the book “Communication with the Spirit World of God: Its Laws and Purpose” by Pastor Johannes Greber, written in 1932, provides a detailed exploration of how to communicate with spirit realms and follow divine guidance. This book elucidates the process of repentance, the importance of prayer, and discerning the truth from the multitude of spirits surrounding us.
In this journey, it is essential to not only change our thoughts and actions but to also recognize the divine guidance available to us. By embracing Jesus Christ and following His teachings, one can navigate the path to heaven, free from the shadows of hell.
