April 22, 2010, John 12

Key Verse:

"He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal."

(John 12:25 )

Central Truth:

Make sure you're living your life for the right reason.

WHAT ARE YOU LIVING FOR ?

As we all know, life is full of choices. We can either live our life for God, or we can live for the other "gods" that surround us everyday like the amount of money we make, our career, the type of car we drive, or the home we live in. All of these things place a great deal of pressure on us because society looks at these as a measuring stick for how we stack up to others.

God doesn't care about these other "gods," but we let these things weigh on our hearts. We worry about what other people think of us and try to prove that we do "measure up." We are often consumed with these things and fail to live the life that God intended for us. God wants us to worship Him through everything by putting Him first in all that we do.

How we live our life on Earth will determine how we live for eternity. Focus on what really matters. Keep in mind that the best is yet to come.
