…brought nothing in — carry nothing out!
Just read a couple of verses that jumped out to me in 1 Timothy 6.
[vs.7] “For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.”
[vs.12] “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called, and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.”
This puts all of life in perspective. We brought nothing into our earthly life and will take nothing out.
We are all eternal beings and will either:
(1) be with God, our Creator, or
(2) exist in the consequence of our rebellion.
The temporal things of Earth (such as wealth, fame, and power) are not worth what God has offered us.
It is my personal desire to fight the good fight of faith and point others to the person of Jesus. He claimed to be God in human form and backed up that claim through His sinless life, painful death, and then — something no ordinary human could ever do — His resurrection.
I confess my faith and trust in Him before anyone who will listen.
This is REAL! Please don’t ignore His offer of a relationship that is personal and forever.
