Summary

Have you ever considered that everything you and I can see and touch is ultimately going to pass away? We live in a perishable world; it is all subject to decay and destruction. However, the things of heaven are imperishable; they will last forever! And we can store up our true treasure in heaven. Jesus said, “But accumulate for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and devouring insect do not destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal.” —Matthew 6:20 Do you want to be rich in the next world, the real world, the world that will last forever? If so, you need to be actively converterlating the perishable items of this world into the perishable treasures of the world to come. Genuine believers understand that we all live in a time bubble that can pop in this perishing world at any time. When that happens we will find ourselves in a totally different paradigm. The wise person realizes that in the end, all of our earthly time, talent, and treasure is going to perish. Each one of us has to make a choice: Do we want to enjoy life within the Lord’s framework so our lives can echo into eternity, or are we going to live our lives dedicated to the temporary values of this perishing world? As we study the Bible, we discover we are in the middle of two totally different value systems that are striving to win our commitment and loyalty. The first is what we call the perishable world system, and the second is the imperishable eternal realm. The world system is doing everything it can to consume all of our temporary time, talent, and treasure, enticing us to invest all of them into stuff, activity, and experiences that in the end of life will have no eternal value. Self, fame, status, personal wealth: these things take the place that God should have in our lives. On the other hand, we have the value system of the heavenly realm revealed to us by the person of Jesus Christ emphasizing a life of love, giving, and serving. This involves work that leads to glorifying God, building treasure for oneself in the next world, and living a life of fulfillment in this world as well. Jesus Christ came into this world not only to save us from separation from God for eternity ; he also came into the world to save us from wasting our lives while we are here in this world. The value system of the heavenly realm is revealed to us by the person of Jesus Christ. Everything you and I can see and touch is ultimately going to pass away. However when we live our lives investing our time, talent and treasures into God's kingdom they become imperishable bringing lasting rewards on the day of Accountability. SHALLOM

Episode Description

Have you ever considered that everything you and I can see and touch is ultimately going to pass away? We live in a perishable world; it is all subject to decay and destruction. However, the things of heaven are imperishable; they will last forever! And we can store up our true treasure in heaven.

Jesus said,

“But accumulate for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and devouring insect do not destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal.” —Matthew 6:20

Do you want to be rich in the next world, the real world, the world that will last forever? If so, you need to be actively converterlating the perishable items of this world into the perishable treasures of the world to come.

Genuine believers understand that we all live in a time bubble that can pop in this perishing world at any time. When that happens we will find ourselves in a totally different paradigm. The wise person realizes that in the end, all of our earthly time, talent, and treasure is going to perish.

Each one of us has to make a choice: Do we want to enjoy life within the Lord’s framework so our lives can echo into eternity, or are we going to live our lives dedicated to the temporary values of this perishing world?

As we study the Bible, we discover we are in the middle of two totally different value systems that are striving to win our commitment and loyalty. The first is what we call the perishable world system, and the second is the imperishable eternal realm.

The world system is doing everything it can to consume all of our temporary time, talent, and treasure, enticing us to invest all of them into stuff, activity, and experiences that in the end of life will have no eternal value. Self, fame, status, personal wealth: these things take the place that God should have in our lives.

On the other hand, we have the value system of the heavenly realm revealed to us by the person of Jesus Christ emphasizing a life of love, giving, and serving. This involves work that leads to glorifying God, building treasure for oneself in the next world, and living a life of fulfillment in this world as well. Jesus Christ came into this world not only to save us from separation from God for eternity ; he also came into the world to save us from wasting our lives while we are here in this world.

The value system of the heavenly realm is revealed to us by the person of Jesus Christ.

Everything you and I can see and touch is ultimately going to pass away. However when we live our lives investing our time, talent and treasures into God's kingdom they become imperishable bringing lasting rewards on the day of Accountability. SHALLOM
