Reading these verses bring excitement and lots to look forward to. The hope of heaven brings a deeper purpose for living in the here and now. What most people are living for are shallow reasons compared to following Christ. This hope redefines our identity and our relationships; it changes the way we respond to life, and our goals. Nothing could be more important. Let’s spur each other on to never be short sighted or asleep to opportunities to see God working in and through us.
“Every kingdom work, whether publicly performed or privately endeavored, partakes of the kingdom's imperishable character. Every honest intention, every stumbling word of witness, every resistance of temptation, every motion of repentance, every gesture of concern, every routine engagement, every motion of worship, every struggle towards obedience, every mumbled prayer, everything, literally, which flows out of our faith-relationship with the Ever-Living One, will find its place in the ever-living heavenly order which will dawn at his coming.” - Randy Alcorn, Heaven
