“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness?” (2 Peter 3:10-11)
What if I told you that tomorrow our world was coming to an end? What would become important to you? Would you seek to buy more possessions? Would you spend the time catching up on your favorite TV show? Most likely, you would want to be with those you love or share the message of Jesus with anyone within reach.
While it may not be tomorrow (though it is always a possibility), the Bible assures us that one day, everything we know will change. There will be no more money to collect, careers to build, or earth to stand on. The only things that will remain are those that are eternal.
Money may someday be burned up, but when we give to the Lord, we invest in lives that are transformed for eternity. Similarly, our careers will not last forever, yet when we take a moment to witness to a co-worker, we help forge a relationship that can endure beyond this life. God has created us to be eternal beings, and our greatest purpose is to love Him and enjoy Him forever. The beautiful part is that we don’t have to wait to fulfill that purpose. By loving God and loving others, we begin to invest in eternal things and forever change our world.
“As children of God, we should live for the eternal, not the temporal.”
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I come before You, acknowledging that I was not created to merely occupy this world. You have greater things for me to accomplish—things that will last for eternity. Open my eyes to the opportunities around me to share Your love and grace with those in need. Inspire me to look beyond this world and be motivated by the hope of what is to come.
For anyone who feels distant from You or is seeking You for the first time, I pray that they may find You in their hearts. If you are ready to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, pray this with me:
“Dear Jesus, I acknowledge that I need You in my life. I confess my sins and ask for Your forgiveness. I believe that You died for my sins and rose again, and I accept You as my Lord and Savior. Help me to follow You and grow in my relationship with You every day. I commit my life to You. Thank you for loving me and giving me the gift of eternal life.”
Lord, may we all be inspired by the eternal and strive to live in a way that reflects Your love and grace. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
If you have never accepted Gods grace you will never experience true peace in your life. Please read below, or Click Here to learn how and what it means to ask Jeaus into your life . Don’t wait until its too late.
Jesus Christ says, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him” (Revelation 3:20)
The Bible promises eternal life to all who receive Christ: “God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life” (1 John 5:11-13)
If you have not asked Jesus into your lifeYou can receive Jesus Christ right now by faith through prayer.
Prayer is just talking with God. He knows your heart, so don’t worry about getting your words just right. Here is a suggested prayer to guide you:
Lord Jesus, I want to know you personally. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive you as my Saviour and Lord. Thank you for forgiving me of my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of my life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be.
If have sincerely read this prayer and and believe the words true in your heart then congratulations!
(Luke 15:7) says that when one sinner accepts Jesus Christ as his or her Saviour the angels rejoice. So there’s a party going on in heaven right now over your decision! Remember this date as your “second birthday,” the day you were born into a new life in Christ! You have God’s Word that he answered your prayer.
Please take a moment to contact me, I would love to pray with you personally for this wonderful new journey you are on.
