Eternity

eternity - How does keeping an eternal perspective impact my soul?

No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.

1 Corinthians 2:9

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 4:18

[Jesus said,] “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes has eternal life.”

John 6:47

Look, God’s home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them. He will wipe every tear from their eyes.

Revelation 21:3-4

AS WOMEN, we tend to focus on the tasks of today and the problems waiting for us tomorrow. We must take care of our responsibilities, but God also urges us to live with eternity in mind. That is why he has filled his Word with promises about heaven. Thinking about heaven helps us view life differently. We find strength to persevere through trials because we know that this life is not our final destination. The more focused we are on our future with Jesus, the less attached we become to our own plans and to the temporary attractions of this world. If you trust Jesus as your Savior, God promises there is a beautiful future in store for you for all of eternity.
