ONLY JESUS

I have just had another birthday, life goes fast doesn’t it, the older I get the more I focus on what is truly important.

So many things are calling for our attention, so what is important?

Life goes very quickly; it is over in a flash. I wonder where all those years have gone, it seems like yesterday that I was 16.

What is truly important today?

Jesus asked some of the most penetrating questions anyone has ever asked, he asked:

Who do you think I am?

This is the question everyone must answer.

The answer to this question will define you, it will not only define you here on earth, it will be the deciding factor to where you spend eternity. 

What is your answer to this question?

The apostles said in Acts 4, Now is the appointed time , now is the day of salvation.

The writer of the book of Hebrews said harden not your heart.

Jesus offers you life, don’t put him off, don’t put him aside and don’t harden your heart.

For those of you, who have trusted Christ and him alone, there is an ongoing relationship. Once you are his, it is the start of a relationship that will go on for eternity.

What are you living for believer?

Here are some reasons, why I should be living for Jesus

I HAVE A MANSION

People often say I have many flats/houses, many people in the world say look at my house isn’t it brilliant, but all I can say, look I have a mansion John 14:1-6.

I HAVE A REWARD

We have a reward, Paul is striving for a heavenly reward, look at Philippians 3 and 2 Timothy 4. We see so many people get rich and have many rewards, we may envy them, but we have no need to envy them, we will have the most amazing reward for our service to Him.

I HAVE AN INHERITANCE

We have an amazing inheritance, that will not rust or be taken away, so many people have money in the bank, but we have treasure that will never fade away 1 Peter 1.

I HAVE ETERNITY WITH GOD

We have our Jesus, we will be with him for eternity, whatever we go through here on earth, in terms of persecution, suffering etc is worth it, because of the glory we will have when we spend eternity with him in his heavenly home. Romans 8

What matters to you believer?

What will be the legacy you will leave?

Will your legacy be one of spiritual or monetary value?

I want my life to count for God,  I want to remembered for the grace of God in saving a sinner like me.

Whilst here on earth, I want to do two things:

I WANT TO KNOW HIM Philippians 3

I WANT TO MAKE HIM KNOWN MATTHEW 28:19-20

Make your life count, if you have never trusted Christ, trust him today, if you are serving him, strive for that heavenly crown, for your heavenly reward.

Because LIVING FOR AND LOVING JESUS IS THE ONLY THING THAT TRULY MATTERS

GOD BLESS YOU
