Hi, I'm Robert Jeffress, and I'm glad to serve as your Bible teacher every day on this great radio station.

On today's edition of Pathway to Victory, is heaven a real place or is it simply a state of mind?

There's no better authority to answer that question than the only person who has actually been to heaven

and come back to tell us what is really there. His name is Jesus Christ.

Welcome to Pathway to Victory with author and pastor Dr. Robert Jeffress.

Is heaven a real place or simply a state of mind?

If heaven is a physical destination, well, where's it located?

And what will it be like to live there forever?

Today on Pathway to Victory, Dr. Robert Jeffress turns to passages in both the old and new testaments to discover what God's word says

about our eternal home. Now here's our Bible teacher to introduce today's message.

Dr. Jeffress?

Thanks, David, and welcome again to Pathway to Victory.

In our sophisticated times, many agnostics believe that heaven is nothing more than a figment of our imagination.

Heaven, they say, is concocted by naive religious people who want to believe there's life beyond the grave.

Well, those of us who believe what the Bible teaches have not been helped by overzealous artists

who have conjured up fictional images of heaven.

We've seen the cartoonish angels floating across fluffy clouds, shooting love arrows at one another.

Frankly, they've done a disservice to those of us who understand what the Bible really says.

Today, I'm presenting a message that answers the question, is heaven a real place?

And along those lines, I've written a best-selling gift book that's designed to instill you with hope and anticipation.

I've titled it encouragement from a place called heaven.

In addition to igniting your excitement about your eternal destiny, my book will soundly debunk the silly myths and images that do little more than confuse people.
