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. Actually, probably better put it this way: They are at war over our eternity. Therefore, you better believe that it is important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are all going to die someday. That\u2019s reality. And\u2026reality 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. I may be off a little bit, but this is what I believe. The Bible tells us that the way to heaven is through Jesus. That\u2019s it. That\u2019s the way. Jesus is the way. The path has been paved. What happened on the cross did that for us. Jesus did that for us. Believing in him as our Lord and Savior is the key. No way around that. And with that reward awaiting us, I think 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. Coach Armstrong used to always say: \u201cWe better have our lives in order. We better be prepared. We never know when our time here is done.\u201d And oh how right he was. So maybe is the day. Maybe today is the day that you should make sure you\u2019re prepared. Maybe today is the day that you believe Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior. Don\u2019t hesitate. Do it. Then let\u2019s go and love God. Love others. And serve the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
