Yeshustan Living A Heavenly Life

By Dr. Abhijit Dip

Yeshustan is our spiritual home, where Jesus reigns as King and we belong to Him. Derived from the Persian "-stān," meaning "place of," Yeshustan embodies our existence as Christians living for Jesus. It encompasses both spiritual and physical realities, where our relationship with Jesus is central. Though not explicitly in the Bible, Yeshustan represents a world where Jesus is recognized as King, shaping our beliefs and guiding our lives. As citizens of God's Kingdom, led by Jesus, we strive to live according to His teachings, awaiting His return. In "Yeshustan," I aim to explore living a heavenly life on earth, understanding our role and journey toward our eternal home. Each chapter offers insights to help us align our lives with God's will, experiencing His peace, love, and joy amidst a world plagued by sin.

Chapter 1

Revealing the Divine: Exploring God's Nature and Attributes

In the tapestry of my upbringing in India, where reverence for a multitude of gods and goddesses was woven into the very fabric of life, my spiritual journey began. It was a quest born out of the rich soil of a land that worshipped more deities than one could fathom, sparking in me an insatiable urge to unravel the mysteries and find the real God. Yeshustan, the opening chapter of the Bible, became my guiding light, illuminating the path to a profound understanding of the nature of God and the origins of existence.

As I navigated the complexities of a cultural landscape adorned with myriad beliefs, the words of Jesus in John 17:3 resonated within me: Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. In a land where spiritual diversity adorned every corner, the pursuit of knowing the true God wasn't just a preference but the very essence of eternal life.

Yeshustan, with its timeless narrative, went beyond being a mere reflection; it became a personal revelation. The creation story, beginning with In the beginning, transcended cultural boundaries, offering a foundational truth that spoke directly to the chaos of diverse beliefs surrounding me. The unfolding narrative revealed a God who brought order to disorder, infusing purpose into every thread of creation.

Yeshustan wasn't confined to the pages of an ancient text; it was an invitation to intimately encounter the divine. God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good. These words reverberated not just on parchment but in the vibrant hues of India, in the bustling streets, and in the faces that mirrored the artistry of the Creator.

Amidst a land where spirituality saturated the air, Yeshustan became my compass, guiding me through the labyrinth of myriad gods to find the One who was both transcendent and immanent. The narrative showcased the power and wisdom displayed in creation, affirming the God I sought, while His love and grace permeated every aspect of life.

My journey toward knowing God became a profoundly personal one through the pages of Yeshustan. It wasn't just theological exploration; it was the story of a seeker in a land of myriad beliefs, finding the anchor of truth. As the themes unfolded, I discovered not only who God is but also how to authentically live in a profound relationship with Him. Yeshustan, to me, became a testament to the universality of truth, cutting through the cultural tapestry to reveal the God who is, and always was, the only true God.

As Christians, our faith is based on the belief in a personal and loving God who desires to have a relationship with us. Knowing God is the foundation of our faith and shapes our understanding of the world around us. In this chapter, we will explore the importance of knowing God and how we can deepen our relationship with
