The Bible says, “No mere man has ever seen, heard or even imagined what wonderful things God has ready for those who love the Lord.” -📖 1 Corinthians 2:9 Words have not been invented that could possibly convey the experience of eternity. What is it going to be like in eternity with God?įrankly, the capacity of our brains cannot handle the wonder and greatness of heaven. Paul said, “I once thought all these things were so very important, but now I consider them worthless because of what Christ has done.” -📖 Philippians 3:6 Keeping up with trends, fashions, and popular values just doesn’t matter as much anymore. You place a higher premium on relationships and character instead of fame or wealth or achievements or even fun. When you live in light of eternity, your values change. The closer you live to God, the smaller everything else appears.
Suddenly many activities, goals, and even problems that seemed so important will appear trivial, petty, and unworthy of your attention. You will start living in light of eternity, and that will color how you handle every relationship, task, and circumstance. When you fully comprehend that there is more to life than just here and now, and you realize that life is just preparation for eternity, you will begin to live differently. The Bible calls your earthly body a “tent,” but refers to your future body as a “house.” The Bible says, “When this tent we live in-our body here on earth-is torn down, God will have a house in heaven for us to live in, a home he himself has made, which will last forever.” - 📖 2 Corinthians 5:1 Your earthly body is just a temporary residence for your spirit. That will be the end of your body and your time on earth, but it will not be the end of you. The reason we feel we should live forever is that God wired our brains with that desire! This is because God designed you, in his image, to live for eternity.
You have an inborn instinct that longs for immortality. God has… planted eternity in the human heart. To make the most of your life, you must keep the vision of eternity continually in your mind and the value of it in your heart. The most damaging aspect of contemporary living is short-term thinking.
