Time Time Time... See what has become of me?

OK... This is crazy...Time that is. We were talking about it some today in DC. And I was in a real box on this one. So I asked the class for help.

The conclusion I came to is that all of time to God exists all at one time. (Hard to comprehend in our finite mind.)


Eternity=forever...
Not Eternity = Salvation

Salvation = Heaven

But we are not promised eternity either way until we chose Christ or don't chose Christ.

What I am saying is that we think that eternity of our Soul is the goal...When it is actually salvation of our soul...

Once we chose to Follow Christ or not, that is when we chose if the eternity will be with him, or in hell.

Eternal Salvation...

My point being, we do not put enough emphasis on the ETERNAL part.. That once that choice is made, when you die there is no turning back... No second chance. So with everything going on in the word, if this really is the end of time as we know it. How comforting is it to know that we still have eternity to live if we live as Christ.

Act 1: 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

The ultimate Win-Win is to chose Christ.

Here is my new perspective on time...

Stand in any spot, and think about all the stuff that has happened in that spot since the beginning of time, and all of the stuff happening in that spot now, and all the stuff to happen. Now picture it all happing at the same time in that spot. Past Present and Future all happening at the same time.

I am not saying that is 100% the answer, but put it in perspective. If God walked with Adam and Eve in the garden. Then that means he walks with us now. That the bite of the apple, was the point in time God removed his physical presence from our time, but because of time existing in all forms now, he still walks with us.

In the existence of life, we bump into him everyday... Do we ignore him, and bite the apple and separate ourselves from him, or do we take his hand and let him lead us?

P.S. Leave a comment if you know the song the title of this post came from.
