Made to Last Forever, think more about eternity (Day 4)

God has... planted eternity in the human heart. (Ecclesiastes 3:11)
 - we are made in God's image, though we die (Genesis 1-3)

If you do the will of God, you will live forever (1 John 2:17)

Earthly body as a tent, heavenly body as a house

Life on earth has many choice, eternity offers only two: heaven or hell
 - Relationship with God on earth determines relationship with him in eternity
 - C.S. Lewis said there are two kinds of people: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done' and those to whom God says, 'All right then, have it our way.'
 - Tragically, many people will have to endure eternity without God because they chose to live without him here on earth.

This life is preparation for the next (Restorative Justice, change is future oriented)
  - Relationships in heaven and earth (living with God, loving-kindness to others)
 - A higher view of God and an eternal mindset
 - Praying for my friends who have struggled and fallen away because of offense

Nine months in your mother's womb was not an end in itself but a preparation for life
 - this world is not our home, we look forward to our everlasting home in heaven 9
