“The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does
the will of God lives forever.”
1 John 2:17 (NIV)
“The world and its
desires pass away. . .” A few years ago, I watched a documentary on
television that showed what happened to concrete if it was let alone and
nothing was done to it and its surroundings. Time photography showed it
morphing back into its original state- that of soil and vegetation. Our desires
change as we mature. So it is with the desires of our world. Our wishes began
to be seen in the light of reality.
”. . . .the man who
does the will of God lives forever.” John tells his readers, including us,
the reward of following God’s will is eternal life. Simply stated, if we obey
the Father, follow His guidance for our lives, and live out that will before
others, we will be granted entry into His heavenly home.
When we realize we may have not obeyed God, we still can
humble ourselves before Him and say we are sorry for not following His
direction. He will forgive us and erase the transgression from our slate and
allow us to enjoy His presence for the present and for the length of eternity.
