We Live Insignificant Lives -Part One

"What good is it for a man (or woman) to gain the whole world yet forfeit his (or her) soul."
Mark 8:36

Nothing matters. Did you get that? Nothing matters. Our lives here on earth are so insignificant. God doesn't need us to do what He wants. He can do it all by Himself yet He chooses to use us: dirty rotten sinners.

Why? Because He loves us! The most (nowadays) I suppose you can live here on earth, would be into your early hundreds. But we will live an eternity there.
Like I can say an eternity.

Eternity is forever. There is no more than one eternity because an eternity is more than one. Understand?

"Do not store up for yourselves treasure on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasure in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

Matthew 6:19-21

Nothing in life matters. We are only here so we can bring more people glory to God there.

This world tell us things like: If you want to live the best life possible, you have to: have the most, be the best, have the best looks and know people in high places. That won't matter when we get to heaven (or hell). It's over. You're done. You can't re-live your life. Once you get to heaven (or hell) it doesn't matter how much money you had or who you knew or how good-looking you were.

But our God is a God of second chances! It doesn't matter what you do here He is always ready to forgive you and accept you into His kingdom. But once you are there you've already spent your life here.

In other words it's done; official. If you haven't accepted Christ on earth before you get to heaven, you can't stand at the gate of gold and say, "I believe you know. Can't I come in?" No. God will have to send you to hell, even though it breaks his heart.

"May you experience the love of Christ, though it is so great you will never fully understand it."

Ephesians 3:29a

We will never understand how much God loves us because the description of how much He loves us is beyond earthly terms. We can't even comprehend or try to think, or fathom, how much He loves us. He loves us that much. Wow.

Now try to think of a good reason God loves us. We sin. God hates sin, yet somehow He still loves us. Don't you see how insignificant our lives are?

He doesn't have to love us. He wants to. He does, has and always will love us. There is nothing you can do to make him stop loving us! Did you hear me? Nothing. Once you accept Christ as your Savior, Lord and King of your life your sins are forgotten.
It's so amazing! God is so amazing!
To God alone be the Glory!
