« Amplified Then we who are alive and remain [on the earth] will simultaneously be caught up (raptured) together with them [the resurrected ones] in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord! »
« CEV Next, all of us who are still alive will be taken up into the clouds together with them to meet the Lord in the sky. From that time on we will all be with the Lord forever »
1“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.
2 In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
To some, eternity seems like a far-off idea that should not be given much thought.
However, it is a reality you must not lose sight of.
- The truth is, everyone will have to ask themselves, where will I spend eternity ?
God has provided answers to this question in the Bible and has made them plain and accessible because
He does not want eternity and the events surrounding it to take anyone unawares.
It is therefore surprising that some Christians live in this world without eternity on their minds.
Such Christians can be easily spotted from their lifestyles and attitudes toward the things of God.
They live as if they will be on earth forever, whereas Hebrews 13:14 says
« GNT For there is no permanent city for us here on earth; we are looking for the city which is to come »
This was not the lifestyle of the heroes of faith.
From the things they set their affections on and their confessions, people could tell that they were eternity-minded.
Hebrews 11:13-14 tells us that they saw themselves as strangers and pilgrims on earth. Hebrews 11:16NLT says
« But they were looking for a better place, a heavenly homeland. That is why God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them »
What a glorious testimony this is.
I desire this for myself, and I pray that you will also have such a testimony, in Jesus’ name.
- Don’t let the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches blur your vision of the place Christ has prepared for you.
- Eternity is real, and where a person spends eternity is determined by the way he or she lives in this present world Romans 2:3-10.
The place Christ has prepared for you is a place where you will no longer die, it is a place of joy and pleasant experiences, Revelation 21:1-7.
On the other hand, there is another place where whoever rejects God’s grace in Christ will spend eternity.
This place was prepared to punish the devil and his demons,
but those who live their lives to please the world, their flesh, or the devil will also partake in it, Matthew 25:41.
It is a place of everlasting fire and pain.
May you not be found there, in Jesus’ name.
To escape this horrible and eternal torment, give your life to Christ today, and if you have done so, live holy and remain eternity-minded.
Prayer focus – Father, please don’t let me miss eternity with You.
