“Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you, saying, ‘This person began to build and wasn’t able to finish.”

Luke 14:28-30

Are you ready to give up your life here on earth and gain eternal life in Heaven?

It is the cost of what you have given up for God that makes His relationship so valuable to you. If you examine your life, you will know that if you fight for something, you will not want to lose it. Therefore, it is the constant battle that you fight in your heart between faith and doubt, between humility and pride, between light and darkness that makes the peace of Christ so valuable to you. It is the storm in your heart that makes the calm so meaningful to you.

It is only with Jesus in your life that you can remain steady in this unsteady world. That is why it is the thorns and trials that constitute the beauty in our journey to eternity because they strengthen our spiritual life. Salvation is more than just saying, “Lord Jesus, I am a sinner, come into my heart, wash me with your precious Blood, save my soul today”, then going on your merry way. Salvation is a total and complete commitment to Jesus.

That is why the moment we are truly saved, we are engaged in a phenomenal battle (John 15:18-22). Till the end of our days, we will not be out of touch; satan can still reach us but cannot destroy us. If you know this decision to follow Jesus is for eternity, you will give your heart to it.

 

GOD’S LIFT

“IIf you enter a lift to go to the penthouse of a skyscraper building, how many of you would first press to go to down to the underground car park? No one! Yet, in God’s way of doing things, it is our job to submit and humble ourselves under Him and His job to lift us up in His time and in His way. In other words, humility is God’s lift for elevation.”

TICKET TO ETERNITY

“In Matthew 22:21 Jesus said, “So give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” What is of God must return to Him. With the Word of God in your heart, you can one day return to Him in the world of glory.”

THE PILGRIMAGE

“It is only when we know that Heaven is our eternal home that the spiritual strength comes to go through every trial of life and come out stronger. As a child of God, life on this earth is a pilgrimage – where we honour God in each mountain and valley and each season of our lives, and we know that the destination is to be with Jesus forever.”
