Isaiah 22:7-21
Outline
Beware, the LORD is about to take firm hold of you . . . - Isaiah 22:17, NIV
When you live in the light of eternity, your values change. You use your time and money more wisely, as you now direct them to godly use which has eternal value. You place a higher premium on relationships and character instead of fame, wealth or achievement or even fun on this side of eternity. Believers who do so know that eternity must be put in perspective as we go about our daily activities.
Therefore, we must refuse to be engrossed with the glory of this world. We must live with full consciousness that Jesus is coming soon! Everyone needs to heed that warning cry and respond while the Spirit and the bride still say, “come!” We are closer to the end of the age than before. Every event happening around us is pointing to the fact that God will soon bring an end to all things. This should make us to drop the habit of sin and cling to righteousness. Only in doing that shall we be assured of a passport to eternity with Jesus Christ in paradise, the Kingdom of God.
