II Corinthians 5:15 “And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.” Every one of us has to ask ourselves a question which determines our life. That question is: who am I living for–myself or my Savior? Our human nature certainly says–myself. Our Holy Spirit nature says–my Savior. Our Savior’s love for us, His life lived for us, His dying for us, His resurrection for us and His preparing a home, a fabulous future home for us (which our loved ones who live with Him now are enjoying) dictates we live for Him. As we daily live life we constantly answer the question–who do we live for–ourselves or our Savior?

II Corinthians 5:7 “We live by faith, not by sight.” The unbelieving world has an extremely difficult time with this verse. The faith filled follower of God has no problem whatsoever with this verse. Jesus lived, died and rose for you and me—that is believed by every faith filled child of God. No he didn’t or prove it—is the reaction of the worldly. Eternity in Heaven for the faith filled is coming. Eternity is coming for the worldly—but where? You and I could not be more blessed than to have confidence in the truth of this passage. Have a great weekend.

II Corinthians 5:1 “Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal home in heaven, not built by human hands.” The inevitable truth is–our earthly bodies will fail us and our life on this earth will come to an end. We can prolong life, but that is the best we, on this earth, can do. How can something be both sad and happy? When our earthly life ends our joy of eternity in Heaven begins. What will our future home be like? No one on this earth knows. All we do know is—it will be fantastic!

II Corinthians 4:18 “So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” Eyesight is a wonderful blessing. I am sure none of us has ever heard anyone say–I wish I couldn’t see. If eyesight is a miraculous blessing allowing each of us to enjoy our surroundings, how even more wonderful is God’s blessing to each of us to fix our eyes on eternity with our God in Heaven? The greatest blessing of all is to fix our sight on the wonders of eternity with our Heavenly Father.
