ENGAGING ETERNITY

We all have ideas and questions about eternity. It is a simple word but one that has lasting impact on how we live our life. What is it about this word that catches our attention? We were created with eternity in our hearts! How can we focus daily on eternity? The believers judgment is based on reward not regret.

How do we live our short time on earth with Eternity on our hearts?

      • “Time is short. Eternity is long. It is only reasonable that this short life be lived in the light of eternity.” – Charles Spurgeon
      • How does it appear to you, we are getting much closer to the end of time?
      • In what ways do you see that God has planted eternity in our human hearts?

What questions do you have about Heaven?                                                                                                                      

  • Will we know one another in eternity?
  • We were never created to have all the answers.

How do we live a life with Eternal clarity instead of confusion?

      • Deciding in advance that we won’t let hardship, death of a loved one turn our back on God.
      • Remind ourselves that God responds from an eternal perspective.
      • God allows things to happen because He is looking back from eternity to now. We look from the present time, forward. 
      • We should move with eternity, that regret, confusion has to go.

 

When was the last time you groaned for Eternity?
