It doesn’t appear that most Christians think about Heaven very much. If we do, we don’t seem to talk about it. This is strange, because we all want to go there, and this life is going by so very fast.
Main Points:
1. Living in this present world, it’s natural for our minds to be focused on earthly things. We live here, we work here, and our families and friends are here. This life is what we know.
2. I’m struck by the words of Paul, “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.” This instruction requires intention. God is not going to do this for us. We must set our hearts and minds on eternity. We are to look forward to what God has planned for us. We are to be excited and passionate about our future with the Lord. We should want to take others with us.
3. Hear this truth today: God saved us because He wanted us to be with Him. He has planned and prepared Heaven for our arrival. God is excited about our home-going.
Today’s Scripture Verses:
Colossians 3:2 - “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.”
1 John 2:15-17 - “Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father d is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.”
Hebrews 12:1 - “Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us…”
