 Eternity

ETERNITY

Infinite duration

"Eternity to the godly is a day that has no sunset; eternity to the wicked is a night that has no sunrise."

Thomas Watson

 "This minute, too, is part of eternity."

Duncan Stuart

 "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."

Jesus Christ

Is where God dwells

Is imminent & infinite

Is the point of no return

Is the destination of man

Is the peril of the ungodly

Is the palace of the godly

Is seldom considered

Is often ignored

Is frequently unexpected

There are periods in time that enable us to touch eternity.

The Lord’s Day (Sabbath)

Cessation of earthly labor

Immersed in God’s Glory

1. It is hard to convince people to live today for eternity.

2. Most folks are living today to only secure tomorrow.

3. Everyone must live somewhere forever.

4. We must teach our students that this life is best spent in preparation for eternity.

5. When we live for present benefits rather than eternal rewards we are guilty of embezzling time.

 

"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 6:23

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

John 3:16
