How do you live today with forever in mind? Your entire earthly life is like a single grain of sand next to the vast Sahara of eternity, and what you do with it matters more than you think.
In one more message from our Stand in Awe series, we look at what the Bible really says about the life to come: not harps on a cloud, but a new heaven and a new earth. Every believer will stand before the judgment seat of Christ, where our choices, motives, and service will be tested by fire. Through the stories of the rich man and Lazarus and the rich fool, we’re called to wake up to reality, walk in holy awe, weigh our motives, and win the ultimate prize.
