Christian - forgiven - grateful

Welcome! My name is Richard Templin Hancock and I am a senior citizen who has found great peace in his old age in the forgiveness that Jesus Christ offers to sinners. I enjoy reading my Bible and recording short Devotional podcasts with the aim to encourage us all to have faith in God and follow His Son Jesus Christ every day.
I hope the following blog posts will be an encouragement to you:

The Kingdom Of Heaven

Reflecting on the Kingdom of Heaven.

In Matthew 13:44 Jesus said “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found, and hid. In his joy, he goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.

In John 14:6, Jesus declared, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."

In Matthew 4:17, Jesus' message was, "Repent! For the kingdom of heaven is at hand!"

Jesus stated in Matthew 7:21, "Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." 

Jesus told the disciples Matthew 10:7, "As you go, preach, saying, ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!'" 

Some of the incredible benefits of being saved and welcomed into the Kingdom of Heaven:

Sins forgiven. All your past, present, and future wrongdoings are completely wiped clean by the blood of Jesus.

Restored relationship with the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God who sent Messiah Jesus.

God's presence, love, and guidance here on earth.

The guarantee of God's loving care and presence in heaven.

As you reflect on this, what other wonderful benefits come to mind when you think about the Kingdom of Heaven?
