Trade in your Temporary Life for Eternal Life

“And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever.” (I John 2:17)

The Puritan preacher, Jonathan Edwards, in his sermon, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,” saw the world as hanging by a slender thread over the fires of hell. Only when we see the world and its system in such precarious danger will we turn our hearts away and focus our trust and devotion to something more substantial.

The Christian, living the Christian life and devoted to Jesus, is laying up treasures in heaven. Not only does he abide with Jesus down here, he looks forward to abiding with the Lord forever.

Trade in your old, moth eaten, filthy, tattered and torn garments of worldliness and be clothed in the righteousness of Jesus Christ.
