Do you hope to ascend to heaven? Consider John 3:13....

John 3:13
And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
If no man ascended up to heaven except he that came down from heaven.... Does that not tell you that you originally came from heaven? If you ascend to heaven, and for the word of God to be true, you must have also descended from heaven. Why did you leave heaven? This is a hint of the apostasy against God, the great rebellion, the original sin....
God knew each of us before we were born into this corrupt world. Jesus died for us that we might be reconciled to God. But to be reconciled we must voluntarily choose to follow Jesus as our Lord and our God.
Jesus also came down from heaven. Before he was born of the virgin with flesh and blood, he was in heaven. He came down to save us and to restore us to heavenly places. Will you follow him?
