Day Four: Made To Last Forever

"God has...planted eternity in the human heart." Ecclesiastes 3:11

Stuff That Stuck Out:

• This life is not all there is.
• Life on earth is just the dress rehearsal before the real production.
• While life on earth offers many choices, eternity offers only two: heaven or hell.
• Your relationship to God on earth will determine your relationship to him in eternity.
• When you fully comprehend that there is more to life than just here and now, and you realize that life is just preparation for eternity, you will begin to live differently.
• When you live in light of eternity, your values change.
• Death is not your termination, but your transition into eternity, so there are eternal consequences to everything you do on earth.
  
• Every act of our lives strikes some chord that will vibrate in eternity.
• The capacity of our brains cannot handle the wonder and greatness of heaven. It would be like trying to describe the Internet to an ant.
• God has a purpose for your life on earth, but it doesn't end here.
• Rather than death being the end of your life, it will be your birthday into eternal life.
• Measured against eternity, our time on earth is just a blink of an eye, but the consequences of it will last forever.
• Matthew Henry said, "It ought to be the business of every day to prepare for our final day."

Point To Ponder: There is more to life than just here and now.

Verse To Remember: "This world is fading away, along with everything it craves. But if you do the will of God, you will live forever." 1 John 2:17 (NLT)

Question To Consider: Since I was made to last forever, what is the one thing I should stop doing and the one thing I should start doing today?
