priceless gift

Eternal life.

God has given us eternal life through His Son Jesus Christ. Why is it, people would rather run to satisfy their earthly passion and desires. cravings. Its like having 2 choices per se.

1. Believe in Jesus Christ and receive Eternal Life. This would involve taking up your cross, denying yourself your own personal wants and desires, and following Christ. The Road is narrow and it may not be easy at all. Worldly success is not secured.

2. Do what i want and desire, follow my dreams, follow my heart. Work hard to live a life of luxury. Big house, nice car, vacations, great food, lovely clothes. Win a trip ticket to travel the world, Go shopping every single day. Dine fine dining every night. My way, My will , My life. Access denied to spending eternity with God. Forsaking His ways and not bothered about His will.

the 1st, you cant see. you can't feel. Its not directly infront of you. But its living within you, bearing eternal fruits. You may not have big car, big house , nice clothes when you seek this. the road might be tough, but you are joyful and full of peace. Knowing that it pleases the Father that you love others more than yourself. Becoming a servant, broken bread. Letting known to people of the wonderful gifts of God.

the 2nd is right in front of your eyes. You see people around you getting them. Lust of the eyes, Lust of the flesh and the Pride of Life. Glamour, Luxury, Coolness, Popularity, Money, Statue, Glits. Its obtainable , just believe in yourself. Just use your talents , work hard, give yourself to the world. Please them. Make sure you don't lose out.

I think as much as we like to think that we can have both. or that God is there to help us with no.2 but God already said that His Kingdom is not on earth. Flirt with the world all you like, you are only quenching the Holy Spirit.

Its as though the WHOLE WORLD is fallen. Its completely dark. Satan is its ruler. ( Okay im not just trying to sound weird . its true ) And as believers we are the light of the world. We shed something of the heavenly. Of the Eternal. Its important that our light is always shining! and that we are always salty!

Im guilty of being tempted by the things of the world.

I want to keep my eyes on things above :)
