“Still I am certain to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.”
— Psalms 27:13
Do you firmly trust you will see God’s goodness in heaven? That’s what David alluded to in verse thirteen. Yes, he had faith God would protect and keep him alive. David also firmly believed he’d experience God’s goodness by His keeping him from hell. David alluded to his belief in God’s promises that he would see God in heaven.
Do you have faith like David? Do you know for certain—with absolute trust—that you will be there?
Sins (wrongdoings) keep people from being good enough to enter heaven and God’s presence. Jesus, God’s holy Son, who has never sinned, died a sinner’s death and was separated three days from His Father until His resurrection. He did this so whoever believes in Him will have their sins wiped away from their name and that they will be righteous (John 3:16). Only when a person believes in Jesus and is made righteous by Him can that person enter heaven to live with God forever.
Do you have faith like David? Will you see God’s goodness in the land of the living—eternal life with God?
