"THINK ABOUT THE THINGS OF HEAVEN, not the things of earth. For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Jesus Christ the Lord God."
Our One Truth Today is that your real life is hidden, with Jesus Christ the Lord God, in Heaven! We are not to dwell on the things of this earth, because we died to this life and we now live in Christ!. How often do you think about Heaven and your real and eternal life to come? Which life is more important to you, the one here on earth, or your eternal life in Heaven? Have you been able to grasp the concept of how short your life really is as you pass through on your way to Heaven? Are you certain where you will spend your eternity? As a pilgrim passing through are you spending a lot of time trying to accumulate worldly possessions or are you building up your treasures for heaven? You came into this world with nothing and you will leave with nothing. THINK ABOUT THE THINGS OF HEAVEN!
Your attention and affection should be set on the things above because you have died to this life and will be spending eternity with the Lord in Heaven. Set your mind on the higher things and THINK ABOUT THE THINGS OF HEAVEN. That is where your real and eternal home will be!
Your life here on earth will lead to inevitable death and because you are born again you will not suffer the second death but instead you will be with the Lord forever in Heaven. As a child of God He has prepared a mansion for you as He said in His Word. Your hidden life will be revealed in your eternal home, in the presence of Jesus Christ the Lord God!
When tragic things happen here on earth, people ask, "why would a good God allow bad things happen"? There are questions about babies dying, planes crashing, killer storms and events.
Everyone has there own personal tragedies that they can relate about events here on earth. If you only have your sights set on the things of this earth then you will not be able to understand the question or have an answer. Look in the right direction, "look up for your redemption is drawing nigh". Your hidden and eternal life are in heaven and not of this earth. Because you died to this life your real life will be with Jesus Christ the Lord God. Eternal perfection is not found here on earth. Death, disease and destruction and limitations are found on earth. We need to keep our thoughts and sight vertically and not horizontally. Do not focus on the earth,
THINK ABOUT THE THINGS OF HEAVEN!
