Lord Jesus calls us to heavenly life. Our Lord Jesus came into this world to call us to the unending eternal life in heaven.

All those who believe in Jesus the Lord will have eternal life. “God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life. Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Those who believe in him are not condemned; but those who do not believe are condemned already, because they have not believed in the name of the only Son of God” – John 03:16 -18.

God our Heavenly Father, because of care and concern for us, with infinite love for us, he sent his Son Jesus into this world in order to take all of us his people to heaven. I repeat – Jesus came into this world in order to take all of us to heaven.

All those who believe in Jesus will rightfully attain the heavenly life that is everlasting unending life. When we live in faith in him he forgives our sins. He guides us towards heaven. He saves us so that we may not fall into the ocean of fire which is hell. All commit sin and as a punishment all of us are to be pushed into the burning hell. In order to escape from it, if we believe in Jesus our Lord, we may escape from the punishment.
Those who believe in Jesus are born of God. Those who are born of God will not commit sin. They belong to the family of God. On the day of their death they will be born in heaven and shine like the angels. As atonement for their sins Jesus the Lord accepted the passion and death on the cross.

Our heavenly Father and Jesus the Son of God invite us to heaven.

“Everything that the Father gives me will come to me, and anyone who comes to me I will never drive away; for I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day. This is indeed the will of my Father, that all who see the Son and believe in him may have eternal life; and I will raise them up on the last day” John 6:37- 40.

God the heavenly Father entrusts us to the Lord Jesus. We live believing in Jesus Christ. Jesus the Lord guides us to the heavenly life. Through our Advocate the Holy Spirit we go to heaven. The will of God the Father and the will of Jesus the Lord is that we should live happily in heaven. The Lord protects us that we should not be buried in the ocean of fire which is hell. Let us live a sinless, holy, heavenly life having been united with God! Only then, on the day of our death our soul will reach heaven. We are going to live in the company of all saints in heaven. We are going to meet St Antony, St Francis Xavier; we will chat with them. And this joy cannot be elucidated

God's love for us

“God's love was revealed among us in this way: God sent his only Son into the world so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. - 1 John 4:9 - 10

God our Father out of his infinite love for us sent his only Son Jesus into this world. The Lord Jesus came into this world to take us to heavenly life. God Lord Jesus through his sufferings and death on the cross carried away our sins. Jesus the Lord accepted the punishment for our sins and proved his love to this world. He saves us from the fire of hell; leads us in the way to heaven.

Eternal life is with Jesus

God the Father awaits to give us the heavenly eternal life. This life is with Jesus Christ. “God gave us eternal life, and this (eternal) life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has (eternal) life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life” - 1 John 5:11-13.

God our Father, through his only Son Jesus the Lord, grants all the people of the world the heavenly life which is the eternal life. Those who believe in the Lord Jesus and live a holy life in this world will be called by Jesus the Lord to heaven.
We declare to you by the word of the Lord, that those who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will by no means precede those who have died. For the Lord himself, with a cry of command, with the archangel's call and with the sound of God's trumpet, will descend from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up in the clouds together with them to meet the Lord in the air; and so we will be with the Lord forever. -1 Thessalonians 4:15 - 17

If Jesus is in us and we in Jesus are united then already in this world we could live the heavenly life. By receiving the Holy Communion, we live being in the union of the Lord. The highest happiness on the earth is the receiving of the Holy Communion.

Jesus the Lord handovers the keys of heaven to Peter - the leader Apostle and the first Pope.
Only through the Catholic Church we could go to heaven because the key to heaven is in the church.
