We all have a desire to be with God• We love the idea of spending an eternity with
God in heaven. Jn. 14:2• How many, however, choose the difficult path
full of trials… possible loss of life… so that the overall goal is accomplished: more souls to have life in Christ? Phil. 3:7-11
The way of the world• Many want to have eternal life while living a
comfortable (downstream) life of luxury. Matt. 7:13• Isn’t this the life of the rich man (vs. Lazarus)? Lk.
16:19– He “knew” Abraham. V. 24– He didn’t have the same life like Abraham.
Heb. 11:16
The way of the Lord• Holding on to the goal (Jesus). Phil. 3:12-21– This means “trying” – no excuses. 2 Tim. 1:7– The means going against the “norm”. Matt. 7:14– This means pressing on through trials. Prov. 24:16– This means possibly losing your life that others
might be able to have it. Matt. 16:24-27
