Not many promises to the elect are as direct, as resilient, and as foremost, as that written in the book of Romans. Few promises stand out as being the one promise for which every Christian ought to aim: eternal life is God’s gift to those who believe Jesus is His son.
“He will render to each one according to his works: to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life; but for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury.”
(Romans 2:6-8)
Our lives are in preparation for a time far greater than the mortal life we are living today. Eternal life promises a life with God the Father and Jesus sitting at His right hand, glorified with them and judging the world.
The destiny we look to is beyond anything we can imagine this life can provide. The ultimate joy we will experience once we die will not compare with the lifetime of pain we may have had to endure by claiming Christ as our savior.
Yet God’s grace over our lives is worth more than mountains filled with gold and chests brimful and running over with jewels. Nothing comes close to what we will have after this life, for God will give eternal life.
Looking to God 
Amen! 🕊️He is the greatest treasure 🕊️
He truly is the greatest treasure. God bless you, Julie!
Hi, Jack. God bless you. A timely post reminding us that our hope is always in Christ. The more I trust that, the more God’s love permeates my soul; the transforming power of God’s love. Thank you for sharing.
May God’s peace be with you always.
Jack Flacco, your message resonates. We cannot serve God and mammon. A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways, which I have been. It is hard to fathom what awaits us, but I know what is down here on earth: a living hell and a nightmare. Jesus is our blessed hope. Thank you, Lord, for your Salvation.
And thank you, Jack Flacco, for your peaceful and hopeful messages.
