Living for What Lasts

Scripture: Matthew 6:19–20

Living for eternity does not mean that we start ignoring our earthly responsibilities, it means that we allow eternal values to shape how we live today. Our time, relationships, generosity, and obedience all become sacred investments when we offer them to God. Jesus challenges us to consider where we are investing our lives. “Storing up Earthly treasures” promise and give us false security, but they do not endure. What we build for ourselves fades away; what we build with God endures.

Having an eternal perspective asks us to measure success not by accumulation, but by impact that lasts beyond this life. This is not saying that we earn our way to heaven, but when we have that relationship with Him we become lead by His example becoming more like Him.

Every choice we make is shaping something. Focusing on a “Jesus” like perspective will help us ask better questions: Is this drawing me closer to God? Is this building His Kingdom? Will this matter when eternity begins? Jesus warned us not to invest our lives in things that fade, rust, or fail. Having a Christian perspective reorders our priorities and asks one simple question: Will this matter forever? What we build for God outlasts what we build for ourselves. But God’s firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity.” (2 Timothy 2:19)

Say What:
What are you currently investing in, and will it still matter in eternity?

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, help me align my priorities with Your Kingdom. Show me how to live for what will last and invest my life wisely for eternity. In Jesus Name Amen
