Is There Room For Me in Heaven?

When a semester in school ends, I pack my bags and I joyfully head to Houston to my parent's house. There is no question in my mind if there will be food for me to eat when I get home neither am I bothered about where I will sleep because I know that I have a room in my father's house. I know that there's a place in the house specifically left untouched in anticipation of my arrival. It has already been established and known by all that that's FeeFe's room and so when I arrive at home, I take my bags into my room and settle in. While I have an earthly father who has a room for me in his house, I also have a Heavenly Father who has a house. The question then remains this: Is there room for me in heaven? Is heaven preparing a space specifically in anticipation of my arrival? Is heaven even anticipating my arrival? These are the questions that the Lord has on my heart. The years we live on earth are all important, the careers we are working so hard at are good, the dreams and relationships we desire are also good things, but eternity is waiting for everyone. Where will you be spending it? In the Holy Word of God, Jesus said, 

"In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also"-John 14:2-3


In the Greek translation, the word mansions is monḗ which means "dwelling place" or "room". Jesus has promised that He is going back to the Father's house to create a room for His children so that we may live with Him for all of eternity. This means we must belong to the family of God in order to live with the Father. Jesus went on to declare, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" and this declaration shows that the only way to know with full confidence that there will be room for us in Heaven is if we are walking and working with Christ Jesus. Have you done anything to deserve a room in the Father's house? Better still, are you even His child?

What was the "atrocious" statement that causes such an uproar? Read it below.
