Eternal Perspective

During my life I have found that the most important thing, besides believing in and following God, is to make sure that you always have an Eternal Perspective in everything. Having an eternal perspective means viewing things through Gods eyes. It means understanding the happenings and events of your life on earth are but only preparation for your life in eternity. Therefore we must always have an eternal perspective on everything that happens in life so that we may not jeopardize our eternity in heaven to an eternity in hell through our actions and reactions.
Having an eternal perspective means that when we worry, or are hurt, angry, frustrated, confused, when we feel helpless, and any other feelings and emotions we may experience, you can just trust that God has everything in His hands and stay calm and collected in any situation or circumstance because you have the peace of God with you.
Having an eternal perspective means that you do not worry about dying, because that just starts the beginning of eternity with Jesus. Having an eternal perspective means that you don’t value the things of the world, but rather the things of God (e.g. saving people from eternal hell and damnation) because in the end all that matters is your relationship with Jesus, which determines whether you are going to heaven or hell.
The life of someone with an eternal perspective is spent trying to bring people into relationship with Jesus to save them from eternal hell.
Do you have an eternal perspective? Are you making a REAL difference in the world? Many people spend their life trying to make a difference in the world, but the only REAL difference that has any value in eternity is whether people are saved or not. Where is your focus at?
