MY FRIENDS, THE LONG WALK TO THE BEGINNING OF ETERNITY

THE LONG WALK TO THE BEGINNING OF ETERNITY, if you are a Child of God you should have discovered by now, that after walking this road, one only finds that there are not many more miles to go.

We are at the threshold of eternity and our God any day now will tell His Son, go get my faithful who have endured, and have “been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb”

We must also understand the time it took to make this journey must never be a factor. No matter if it was one day, or 40 years, or 100 years, or like Abraham who lived 175 years who God “gave no inheritance here, not even enough ground to set his foot on.

But God promised him [and He also promises us] that he and his descendants after him would possess the [promise land if we are faithful and endure to the end] ,” Acts 7:5 (NIV) As God closes out this chapter in history and this great controversy ends, we need to also understand what God is telling us in His word.

For “The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.

For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.” Romans 1:18-20 (NIV)

Remember my friends God has created each of us in his image. So that gives us the inevitable insights into the love, mercy and grace of our Savior. And with our moral Instinct and Judgment God has also given us His Spirit, and His Word and most important, He has given us His only begotten Son who died on Calvary so that when [He is] lifted up from the earth, will draw [all of his faithful who endured] to [Him].” John 12:32 (NIV)

Paul also tells us “For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law.

They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.” Romans 2:13-15 (NIV) So by nature God has been revealed to us.

So we don’t need a commandment to tell us if we sit in front of our TV 5 or 6 hours a day, if it’s wrong or not, or what types of food we allow to go into God’s temple, if they are unhealthy, or the words we allow to come out of our mouth, or where we allow our feet to take us at times, or our eyes to watch or read.

in addition, as a child of God who seeks His presence, if there is any doubt about our requirements to finish this LONG WALK TO THE BEGINNING OF ETERNITY our God will guide us, but we must first be willing to “lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, [as we] run with patience the race that is set before us,” Heb. 12:1 (NIV)

consistent with this, remember, the beauty and splendor of Heaven is our goal but beyond what heaven has to offer us, just being in God’s presence for eternity is all I ask for because “When we’ve been in God’s presence, ten thousand years Bright shining as the sun We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise Than when we first begun.

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me we once was lost but now [we are] found Was blind [but now my friends we will then be able to say with no reservation we can now] see THAT THE LONG WALK TO THE BEGINNING OF ETERNITY, “was cheap enough.”

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
