Living with eternity in view, requisite for partaking in the imminent rapture or eternity with God. ( Click here for more details. )

Living with eternity in view requisite for partaking in the imminent rapture or eternity with God. 

Colossians  3:1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.  3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.  3:3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.  3:4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

The blessed Holy Spirit reveals the truth to you, the conditions for partaking in the imminent rapture or eternity with God. Simply be doing everything from the perspective of eternity you desire.

Prior to time our Lord Jesus Christ has informed His followers that every thing done by then must be weighed on what the Bible says about that thing.

Matthew  4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

In addition in all things they are doing, they must always be seeking eternity first.

Matthew  6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

That informed why the wise Virgins took oil in their lamps when they went to meet with the bridegroom.

Matthew  25:1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.  25:2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.  25:3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:  25:4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.  25:5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.  25:6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.  25:7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.  25:8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.  25:9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.  25:10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.  25:11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.  25:12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.  25:13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

If in deed you are doing things from the perspective of eternity to help you partake in the imminent rapture or eternity with God, then you will never ever sin wilfully against God.

Hebrews  10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,  10:27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.  10:28 He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:  10:29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?  10:30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.  10:31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

One other thing that will characterize your life is laying treasures in heaven.

Matthew  6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:  6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:  6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Finally you are going to be Biblically wise, because you are living with eternity in view.

Proverbs  15:24 The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.

Deuteronomy  32:29 O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!

Proverbs  19:20 Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.

The good Lord shall help you in particular to begin to doing all of these, till Christ comes.

Let us pray.
