There is a Kingdom that has always been, and will always be. It is found in the heart of Jehovah God who has no beginning or end. He lives in eternity, and rules over all that exist. Before time began, before you were born, God had an eternal purpose for your life. The only way to find and fulfill this eternal purpose is through a relationship with The Eternal King, Jesus Christ. This blog is about The Eternal King and His Kingdom. It is about how you can be part of His Kingdom by having a relationship with Him, and fulfilling His eternal purpose for you.

JESUS DIDN'T DIE TO TAKE YOU TO HEAVEN!

THOUGHTS ON THE ETERNAL KINGDOM

JESUS DIDN’T DIE TO TAKE YOU TO HEAVEN!

To be all we can be we must understand that God doesn’t just want to save us from hell and take us to heaven.  Jesus died to deliver us from the power of sin and give us an opportunity to have a relationship with God.

Some people do a disservice by telling folks that just by saying a prayer they can have fire insurance which will save them from hell and take them to heaven.  John 3:16 tells us clearly that Jesus died to give us “eternal life” not just take us to heaven.  John 17:3 makes it clear that eternal life is having intimate fellowship with God that allows you to grow to know Him, and live to fulfill His purpose for you.

Those who truly care for men’s souls share a message of total surrender which calls people to be all they can be by yielding their heart and life to do God’s will and living to fulfill His purpose. They call everyone to offer their relationships, goals and ambitions, and possessions to God.  They emphasize the need to stay surrendered to God daily.  They teach individuals to feed on God’s Word (The Bible), to stay in touch with Him through prayer, and to walk in obedience to The Holy Spirit. They know this is the only way people can be all God wants them to be.

Question:  What kind of message about Jesus are you sharing with people?  Are you simply telling them to say a prayer so they can go to heaven, or are you helping them find “eternal life” through a relationship with God?
