LIFE APPLICATION TRUTH-AN ENDURING CITY

October 16th, 2012

JOHN SHIRK – From Hebrews 13:14.

“For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come.”

There are some major differences between being a citizen on the earth and a child of God’s Kingdom. The things of this world are temporary. The treasures of God’s kingdom are eternal. Our achievements on this earth that lead to trophies, medals, and honors will fade away, but our relationship with God and our service for Him will last forever. Our anticipation of heaven inspires us to be more productive, not less productive while we live on the earth.

In light of keeping our focus on the city that is to come, the next verse (Hebrews 13:15) says, “Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise-the fruit of lips that confess his name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with sacrifices God is pleased.”

Seeking first after God’s Kingdom and His righteousness is a vital sign of a changed life in the Year of Transformation.
