We Have More Than A Glimpse

1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”

Oh the things God has in store for His children, that most cannot begin to imagine. All we have to do is talk to most people, some Christians included, and we'll find that most are clueless as to what God has in store for us. It is a mystery. However, the next verse in this chapter clearly tells us that God, thru His Spirit, which He has given, to indwell each believer (follower of Jesus), has revealed to each of us what these things are. So why do some of us not know these things? Because the Bible has become an afterthought for too many. It has become the Book we carry to church, and only read during the service as we follow along while the preacher reads the verses he is preaching from. The Word of God gives us many glimpses into what it will be like when we are with Him. God has recorded for us what is coming, both here on earth, and in Heaven. He has revealed what will happen to unbelievers, for they will be punished, and will perish (Hell, and the Lake of Fire are as real as Heaven). For believers, He has revealed what we have to look forward to, rewards, and eternity with Him, serving Him, praising Him. With the eyes of faith, we who have believed on the only begotten Son of God, have had much revealed to us, and really should not be surprised when we see what is happening in the world, and our own country today. However, because we have His Word, His Spirit, and eternal life, our hope lies in our Living Hope (Jesus), and by faith we see all that has been promised to us for the future. So, do not see the future as some great mystery that cannot be seen, and therefore live a life of panic, and worry. Instead, put your faith in Christ, believe in Him for eternal life, and then search His Word, allowing the Holy Spirit to show you all that has been revealed to those of us who believe. Brother, sister, no matter what happens in this lifetime, we have so much to look forward to in the next.
