We Have Nothing To Lose

Since your future is absolutely secure and since your future is absolutely glorious you are freed not to grasp and crave and scratch after power and money and pleasure on earth you are liberated to love like nobody else loves. You are liberated to be engaged in politics, liberated to be engaged at work, liberated and engage in the neighborhood caring about what the world looks like, feels like, experienced like, whatever happens to you, you are home free. The future being rapped, a hope being set out there that absolutely makes your future certain makes you an absolutely free person who doesn’t need to mount up stuff as thought this were heaven, got have a heavenly house, got to have a heavenly neighborhood, got to have a heavenly car, heavenly cabin, heavenly kids you don’t. Heaven will come soon enough we are here to serve. Unless you become a slave of all men you can’t even be my disciple... Give yourself away to this world and if it cost you I promise you in the name of Jesus Christ it will be worth it. Every cost will be worth it. By John Piper, Pastor, Desiring God Sermon

We as believers who have faith and by the total grace of God have the liberty to live our lives fully engaged with NO FEAR for our future is already secured in Heaven. We are to give our lives away for others at all cost. It was freely given to us therefore we have no investment in it other than to give it away.

As Jesus said in Matthew 6:20 “But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.”

As Paul said in 1 Timothy 6:19 In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.

So my friends engage don’t be afraid for heaven is really only a few days, months, years away and this short time will be inconsequential to that of eternity. Thank you John Piper for such clarity.

Satan's Rule

"The whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one." Are you swayed? Is it easy to see how much is wrong yet breaking through to show us glimpses of heaven is joy, the light, real goodness.

No! every time a bad thought or moment comes, I pray and tell God to kick him in the tail and get him out of my head. Reach higher and look forward.
