“for we brought nothing into this world, and we cannot take
anything out of the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world.” 1
Timothy 6:7
Paul, after speaking of
contentment, now says that just as we brought nothing into this world, so we
can take nothing out of it.
This verse reminds me of the verses in Matthew
where Jesus said, “Do not lay up for
yourself treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves
break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither
moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where
your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6:19-21)
I want to live for the eternal,
to live each day with a heavenly perspective. A missionary pastor in Belize
that I know said that there are three things that are eternal:
1. God
2. The
Word of God
3. The
souls of men
I don’t want to waste my life
living for that which will one day fade away. I want to live for the eternal. I
want to live to know and love God and His Word more, and I want to live to
share His Word with others.
