How do we know our desire for heaven is genuine?

Answered in 1 source

A genuine desire for heaven comes from the Holy Spirit's work in our hearts, compelling us to seek spiritual things over worldly pleasures.

The sincerity of our desire for heaven can be tested by examining whether we genuinely seek after spiritual things or remain content in worldly pursuits. The sermon emphasizes that if we do not have a desire for heaven, we should earnestly pray for one, reflecting on the truth that the Holy Spirit initiates this longing within us. Our transformed desires become evidence of God's grace at work, indicating that we are indeed pilgrims and strangers on this earth.
