Heaven (Part 2)
Prepare to meet your Maker now, whatever your age (Amo 4:12).
- Seek thy Creator in the days of thy youth (Ecc 12:1; Lam 3:26-27; Pro 8:17; 2Ch 34:3).
- If you didn’t find God until you were old, then be wise in thy latter end (Pro 19:20).
- Serve God in your old age and show His strength unto this generation (Psa 71:9, 15-18).
- Don’t leave this world until you impart the truth to the next generation.
- Never stop bringing forth fruit, even in old age (Psa 92:13-14).
- God will be with us in old age (Isa 46:4).
- Make sure your heart is right with God (Psa 51:17; Psa 34:18; Psa 51:10 ct/w Psa 78:37 & Act 8:21).
- Make sure you have confessed and repented of any known sins now (Pro 28:13; 1Jo 1:9) so you don’t take them to the judgment seat (2Co 5:9-10).
- Deal with any problems you have with anyone (church brethren, family, friends, etc.) now (Mat 5:22-24; 1Jo 4:11-12, 20).
- Live your life from here forward so you that won’t have any regrets (Act 20:26, 33; Act 23:1).
- Read your Bible daily (Psa 1:2).
- Pray regularly (1Th 5:17).
- Make church a priority (Mat 6:33; Heb 10:25).
- We should all strive to be able to say as Paul did at the end of his life:
- “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.” (2Ti 4:7-8)
- If you love your life you will lose it (Joh 12:25; Mar 8:34-37).
- Be ready to give it up at any time.
- Hold on to the things of this life, and life itself, with a loose grip.
- Are you afraid of death?
- You shouldn’t be (Heb 2:14-15).
- Make sure your thoughts are focused on heavenly things (Php 3:20; Col 3:1-3).
