You know…it would be so easy to live life just for the
moment without any cares or worries of consequences…at least for a while. The trouble with that is that sooner or
later, we will reap what we have sown…good or
bad!
Of course God wants us to enjoy our lives, but He also wants us to live with purpose and self control. Living without any regard to consequences is actually very dangerous. You never know when the breath that you take may be your last. That’s why we should live eternally minded. Heaven and Hell! Yes, they both exist. Which place are you planning to take up residency for eternity?
James 4:14-15 talks about how our lives here on earth are but a vapor that’s here only for a little while and then vanishes. It also says that because we don’t know how long we’ll be here, we should say “If the Lord wills, we’ll do this or that.” Just think about it. If this life is as a vapor compared to eternity…eternity is a crazy long time! I know that I know that I know that I’m spending eternity in Heaven. And…although I still make mistakes, my goal is to be in the Lord’s will for my life…living a life led by the Holy Spirit.
It is the Lord’s will that none would perish, and come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9 The trouble is that so many don’t know or maybe don’t want to know who Jesus is. There could be a million reasons why people don’t want to know Jesus. But even though they choose not to know Him, He still loves them and wants them to come to repentance and be saved. However, your choice is your choice.
Jesus said; I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6
Are you living life for the pleasure of the moment or are you living it eternally minded?
Do live your life as if there’s no tomorrow, but don’t live it carelessly. Choose to know Jesus. Choose Heaven for eternity. Choose to live a Spirit led life. I assure you it will not be boring!
