Today Matters for Eternity

Today matters for eternity. Let us not be so arrogant to think that we will joyously run to our Father in heaven, when we can’t or don’t spend time with HIM while we are here.

“Lord, through all the generations you have been our home! Before the mountains were born, before you gave birth to the earth and the world, from beginning to end, you are God.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭90:1-2‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Today matters for eternity is a statement that should remind us that we are pilgrims passing though, that our days are numbered, and that we should be sharing the good news with as many people as possible due to how quickly this life and world will fade away.

“That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4:16-18‬ ‭NLT

‬‬ “For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes—the Jew first and also the Gentile.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭1:16‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Today matters for eternity should give us the perspective needed to finish well and to know that Jesus is coming back! This should fill us both with a strong HOPE and a sense of WARNING.

“Who can comprehend the power of your anger? Your wrath is as awesome as the fear you deserve. Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭90:11-12‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5:1‬ ‭NLT‬‬
