Bible Questions – Is Heaven the Place for Man to Live?

Bible Questions – Is Heaven the Place for Man to Live?

Chen Bo

One day, I went to my younger sister’s house to visit my mother. When I was leaving, my younger sister, who was also a believer in the Lord, gave me a book, and she told me to be sure to read it carefully. I thought: It must be a spiritual book. Now I’m thirsty in the spirit and can’t feel the Lord’s presence, and I receive no light when reading the Bible. I will read it carefully. After being back home, I began to read the book. Unknowingly, I was drawn to its words. The more I read it, the more I loved it, and the more I felt the words in it were from the work of the Holy Spirit, and could lay bare man’s thoughts and considerations, and that they could not be spoken by man. Since I began to read the book, my heart became brightened, my spirit felt enjoyment, and I was willing to pray and come close to the Lord. I thought only the work of the Holy Spirit can give people faith, and supply and nourish man in the spirit. I felt I could not read enough of its words, and the first thing I did every morning after I got up was to read the book.

Influenced by these thoughts such as “Knowledge changes the fate of man,” “As a man sows, so he shall reap” and “One’s fate is in one’s own hands,” I began to seek knowledge, as if the more knowledge I had, the more wonderful future I would have. Therefore, entering a good university, finding a good job and leading an ideal life were my aims to strive for and even more of my parents’ expectations.

A cluster of crabs were moving on the beach. Meanwhile, a seabird hunting for food straightly flew down. The second before a little crab was about to be the food in the seabird’s mouth, all crabs lined together and then raised their pincers, pointing them at the seabird. We can surely imagine what the result would be. The crabs didn’t suffer the least injury, while the seabird lost some feathers, ending in fiasco.

Due to my poor family, I lived a life of being looked down on and bullied from childhood. So I was seized with a strong desire within my young heart: When I grow up, I must worry about earning money, change my fate with my own two hands, and lead a superior life, to let my parents hold their heads high in front of other people.

I am a Christian. May 31, 2013 was an unforgettable day for me. At past 5 that morning, I was sleeping at home as usual when my mother called to ask whether I had bought spareribs. I felt a little puzzled, thinking: Why does mom ask me about that so early this morning? Then I remembered I had mentioned it to her the day before. So I answered, “No, not yet. I will go to buy some today.” She told me not to buy it and to go to her home to eat it at noon. After hanging up the phone, I felt strange about her behavior: Mom is always thrifty. How did she suddenly call and ask me to go to her house to have spareribs?

I am a Christian. One afternoon in August 2012, I went to a pond with a tub of clothes to wash at the age of 71. The pond was surrounded by farmland, with nobody living nearby. For the convenience of washing clothes, the villagers set a cement board above the pond. That day before I had gone a few steps on the board, suddenly I slipped and fell headlong into the pond. With my head downward, I sank deep, deep down. When opening my eyes and seeing the turbid water, I was full of fear. I thought to myself: The water is very deep here and I can’t swim. Besides, I was not seen when falling into the pond. Turns out I’m gonna die! Just as I was in a panic, God’s word drifted into my mind: “You shouldn’t be afraid of this and that. No matter how many difficulties and dangers you face, you shall remain steady before Me; … Be not afraid; with My support, who could ever block the road?”. Right! I’ve believed in God, and He is my rock. Now is the time I rely on Him! So, I prayed with all my might: “O God, please help me! I’ve fallen into the pond; I don’t know what to do. …”
