Reaching Your Eternal Destination!
When you decide to travel or go on a journey, you have an itinerary in mind. You have a proposed outline, plan, travel diary, traveler's guide, or Global Positioning System (GPS) that's going to help you reach your final destination. You take into account where you're going, how you're going to get there, and what it's going to take to get you there. What steps are you taking to reach your eternal destination? God is concerned with every aspect of your life, including your soul and your eternal joy and happiness. Because of God's agape love toward us, he doesn't want any of us to perish. He says in Matthew 18:14 (NKJV), "Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish", and in John 3:16 (NKJV), "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life." Before you can get on board, you need a Savior and Mediator--that is, you must draw nearer and become acquainted with and have a spiritual relationship with Jesus, the only One who can save you. The only One who can meet all your needs: spiritual, directional, emotional, physical and eternal. You have to trust him and place your eternal destiny in his hand. When that time comes, he wants you to spend eternity with him. He has a purpose and plan for you to reach your eternal destination. Jesus tells us in Matthew 6:33 (NKJV), "Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you." The master plan has already been established, and the preparation is being made. Jesus wants you to experience the fullness of his glory, to have the right to the tree of life, and to drink from the fountain of the water of life freely. When you meet the King of kings and the Lord of lords face-to-face, he will say: "Well done, my good and faithful servant. Come, my beloved, and spend eternity with me in paradise, you may enter into the gate of the new holy city."
