A Hint of Eternity

A Hint of Eternity

 

Eternity is a difficult concept for us to grasp. In human terms, it seems a matter of time – or more accurately, timelessness. But eternity is more than a measure of time. Things said to be "eternal" have a quality of permanence. The benefits of eternity are not found solely in the hereafter; they provide an incredible sense of satisfaction in this life as well. Daniel Webster, one of America's most famous statesmen, once said: "If we work on marble, it will perish; if on brass, time will efface it; if we rear temples, they will crumble into dust; but if we work on immortal souls and imbue them with principles, with the just fear of God and love for our fellowmen, we engrave on those tablets something that will brighten all eternity." 

 

In building your life, build with God toward everlasting life. Build your life to the glory of God and invest in your eternity. We fix our eyes not on what is seen but on what is unseen. For what is seen in temporary but what is unseen in eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:18
