Eternal Perspective

From: Ambassadors For Christ International - John North

2 Corinthians 4:18 "We look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal."

What things are not eternal? Jobs, money, promotions, winning, losing, travel, cars, computers, sound systems, clothes, physical appearance, houses, iPods, sex, popularity.

What things are eternal? God, your spouse, your kids, your parents, your relationship with God, heaven, hell, God’s Word, the spiritual impact of your ministry to others, the influence of your love in someone else’s life, the life-change of someone putting their faith in Jesus Christ, the work of the Holy Spirit through you.

Consider those two lists again. You get to choose whether your life will be focused on now or on eternity. God wants you to make a conscious choice to live for the things that really matter. The second list.
