🪦 Living with Eternal Perspective
Celebrating Life and Death
Let's talk about something we often shy away from: Death. But here's the thing: As believers, we shouldn't fear it. We should celebrate the promise of eternal life.
When I was 19, I had a near-death experience. I drowned in a lake in East Texas. I remember sinking, knowing it was over, and calling out to Jesus. Then, something amazing happened. The lake lit up, and I felt intense love. I saw my body separate from me, but I was okay. I had stepped into another dimension.
Jesus told Martha in the Bible, "If you believe, you will never die."
Do you believe that? We don't really die. We step into a new life with God.
I wish we celebrated this more. Too often, we're afraid of death. But it's a beautiful transition to something far better. I've seen many people pass, and only a few were truly prepared and celebrated it. In the Old Testament, they would gather everyone around their deathbed and say, “I'm going to heaven!”
We should do the same.
Living with an eternal perspective changes everything. We don't just live for now; we live for eternity. So, let's embrace the hope and joy of eternal life. Let's live with purpose, knowing that heaven awaits us.
So, where are you on your journey? Are you just surviving, or are you seeking significance? Remember, God has a plan for you. Find your purpose, live with an eternal perspective, and look forward to the joys of heaven.
Key Takeaway:
As believers, we should embrace the promise of eternal life, live with purpose, and celebrate the hope of heaven.
