What is it that you prepare for? What is it that takes your time and attention to get ready for? If you ask yourself that question, and you\u2019re honest about it, I bet you realize that whatever you prepare for is important to you. Things that require your attention and time are important to you. God has prepared eternity for us. Let\u2019s read that again. God has prepared eternity for us. That is awesome. But we must be aware of this other truth as well. Satan has done the same thing. Let that sink in. And if they are preparing eternity for us, then it must be important.

We are all going to die someday. That\u2019s reality. Reality is that we will all spend eternity somewhere. So living on this earth isn\u2019t our forever home. As Christians, we rejoice in knowing where we are going. And how glorious that is going to be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But, we don\u2019t have a free ticket to heaven. To get there requires action on our part. And here are probably the two best pieces of advice I can give you. I may be off a little bit, but this is what I believe. I believe that we must repent and ask for forgiveness. I believe those are the two foundations to live as believers and to achieve life in heaven with Jesus. The Bible tells us that the way to heaven is through Jesus. No way around that. And with that reward awaiting us, we should live our lives serving others trying to show them the glory that is awaiting them as well. Eternity with Jesus! Wow! We can\u2019t even begin to imagine what that\u2019s going to look like. Now go and love God. Love others. Serve the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
