DON’T LOSE OUT ON HEAVEN
Job
18:5-7 The truth remains that the light
of the wicked will be snuffed out. The
sparks of their fire will not glow. The
light in them will grow dark. The lamp
hanging above them will be quenched. The
confident stride of the wicked will be short-lived. Their own schemes will be their
downfall. NLT
No matter how brightly the wicked may
shine in this world, their light will be snuffed out. Their glory is short-lived. People come and go and when their legacy is
built around themselves they quickly fade away.
No matter how effective or influential
they may be, wickedness will be their downfall.
Whatever good they may seem to do on earth will not matter in heaven. The darkness of their hearts will rob them of
any joy in their living. Even if they
are remembered on earth, they will be forgotten in heaven.
We need to never forget this sobering
truth. If you are counting on what you
are doing with your life on earth for your joy and eternal security, you need
to wake up now while you can. The Lord
only knows those who are righteous in heart.
He only remembers those who live by faith in Him. He rejects all whose glory is found on earth
and not in heaven.
It doesn’t matter who you are, what others
think of you, what you may accomplish in your life, or what you think of
yourself. All that matters is whether or
not Jesus is your Savior and Lord. And,
Jesus cannot be your Savior and you live for the glory this world offers
you. As a child of God, we must lose our
self and live for Jesus’ glory and honor.
It can be no other way if you want to be with God.
You can lay up for yourself all kinds of
treasures on earth, but if you do not know Jesus as your Savior, you will lose
your soul to hell.
