Eternity

Division. Violence. Shut downs. International conflict. Economic instability. It’s all unbearable to think about. That is until you hold it in the light of eternity. I can role all the hardships into a single heap and set them at the feet of God. Because when you consider the kingdom of God, they are minuscule. Let us be like the Proverbs 31 woman who, “Can laugh at the days to come.” (Proverbs 31:25) Do you know what Jesus talked about more than any other thing? The Kingdom of God. This earth as it is today will eventually cease. It’s certain. Not a single climate change law can stop the inevitable. When you know the truth, the things on earth grow dim in comparison to the shinning hope of eternity.

Do you know how you get eternal life? There is only one way. Through Jesus Christ. The alternative to not receiving eternal life through Him is eternal torment. Every living person knows this to be true. How do I know? Because “God has put eternity into man’s heart.” (Ecclesiastes 3:11) We see this in people who are at the end of their earthly body, they are either confident or terrified of what awaits them. Jesus told us “Whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life.” (John 5:24) It’s the most perfect free gift from God. Have you accepted it? Are you set for eternity?
