Unlocking the Secret to a Life of Eternal Significance
In a world where the forces of secular humanism, atheism, and materialism seem to be gaining ground, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and pessimistic about the future. But as a follower of Christ, I’ve come to realize that our hope lies not in what we see and hear, but in what God is saying to our hearts.
A Promise of Eternal Life
As Matthew 19:29 reminds us, “And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life.” This promise is not just a theoretical concept, but a living reality that I’ve witnessed in my own life and in the lives of countless Christian leaders and servants around the world.
The Time to Invest is Now
In a world that’s increasingly hostile to our faith, it’s more crucial than ever to invest our time, talent, and treasure in Christ and His kingdom. The question is, are we willing to take the leap of faith and trust God with our resources?
The Principles of Spiritual Success
So, what’s the secret to a life of eternal significance? Here are five principles to guide us:
- First, recognize that everything we have belongs to God, and we’re merely stewards of His resources.
- Second, understand that God doesn’t want us to hoard His blessings, but to use them to bless others.
- Third, remember that “as you sow, you reap” – our investments will yield a harvest, either for good or for ill.
- Fourth, invest generously, above and beyond the tithe, in time, talent, and treasure.
- Fifth, invest supernaturally, by faith, trusting that God will multiply our efforts exponentially.
Today’s Action Point
As we seek to maximize our lives for God’s glory, let’s take a moment to reflect on our priorities. What would God have us do to invest our time, talent, and treasure in His kingdom? Let’s prayerfully seek His guidance and trust that He will use us to bring hope and light to a world in need.
