“However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”— the things God has prepared for those who love him—”

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭2‬:‭9‬ ‭NIV‬‬

We all have tried at one time or another to imagine heaven. 

TV and movies add incredible beauty and spectacle to the idea of heaven, but still, no mind has ever conceived it. 

And even with all the imagining, few ever talk about the price of admission. 

Because understanding it’s free is so unbelievable, they try to be as good as possible in hopes that will suffice. 

To actually gain entrance, belief in Jesus’ resurrection after crucifixion for our sin is the free admission but it comes at a transformative price few want to pay. 

Transformation is not being more good. 

Transformation is being entirely sold out to Jesus and obvious about it. 

Not performative, but genuinely changed from old to new in all you are and all you do because of who Jesus is, and rarely with an eye on what is in store. 

The heart and mind and spirit packaged as a grateful thank you gift we are willing to die to deliver. 

I imagine that’s as close we can ever come to knowing what heaven is like while still here on earth.
