ABIDING FOREVER

1 John 2:17

And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.

Personal Challenge

As followers of Christ we are supposed to live our lives with the belief that our presence on this earth is just a short, temporary part of our life span. As Paul says, we are ambassadors for God here on earth, representing Him and His kingdom. So many people who proclaim themselves to be Christians have lost sight, if they ever had it, of this truth. This blindness leads to abiding only in the present and attempting to amass rewards in this life that will rot and fade away. We must strive to develop and maintain a forever mindset and live to build that future, not this temporal lifestyle. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
