I was just thinking how miserable it must be to go through life without faith.

I just got done letting my dog outside to do his business… and as he was standing on my lawn gazing back at me at the door, something overcame me. I thought deeply how I will miss him someday when he’s no longer standing there staring back at me.

But then I was comforted… because I believe that one day I’ll be able to play ball with him, run with him, give him tummy rubs, and he will be endlessly at my side… someday in eternity with my Lord.

What a comforting thought that even when he leaves me someday that my Lord will make it possible for us to be reunited. My best pal… my best friend. Forever.

How sad if I just thought that he would become dirt… and his soul and spirit would be lost forever along with mine.

My question for you today is, “Are you concerned enough about Christ’s return?”

I see so many people go through life that don’t give any thought at all to his return. They may even go to Church. They may even pray with their families. They may even think they are good Christians…

But they aren’t really concerned about where it’s all going to end up. And assume that what their pastor or priest is telling them is all they need to know.

Are you concerned enough?

And why should you be concerned?

Well the bottom line is, it’s your life that is at risk here. We are all on the globe called the Earth. And we are hurtling through space. And unless we know exactly how to live our lives, we may end up not only hurtling through space, but hurtling into the bowels of Hell!

You have to know how to live your life and what to believe. A big part of that is knowing where you are going to end up and the consequences of your actions. You learn that by diving into the Word of God and studying the topic of the End Times.

You must understand the purpose of our lives, what Christ did for us, and what he expects from us so that in the end we are in the right place, in the right state of mind, and have done the right things so that we may sit with him in his kingdom forever and ever…

The alternative you do not want to be part of.

If I told you that if you continued doing what you are doing today.. that certain action you think is trivial.. that you were going to die within the week. Would you pause? Would you rethink that action?

THAT is how important THIS is.

What reward is there for staying the course and overcoming those things that Christ asks..

What more does one need to keep going..? We have paradise in the end if we stay the course and continue to do as Christ asks.

It’s easy to lose sight of what the Lord expects from us.. it’s hard to stay focused on Him while dealing with the world around us and those we mingle with. You can be a good Christian and still lose sight of the center of all things.

Rev. 2:7 “[...]To him who overcomes, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.”

This passage is found in Revelation.. letter to the Church in Ephesus. It is not an easy road, but Jesus promises a place in paradise for those that find the strength to overcome and love Him.
