Guaranteed

For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd,
and he will guide them to springs of living water,
and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes." (Revelation 7:17 ESV)

How many of us set goals throughout our lives? We have goals around our careers, goals around a family, goals of purchasing a house or a car or some new gadget. All of these earthly goals are just that, something we work to attain, but never guaranteed.

But what if your goals were guaranteed if you just had to do one thing? Do one thing, believe that it will happen, and that promotion will come. You have to do nothing, but it is a gift. Sounds very unrealistic unless you are in the family business, and even then you can still do something to remove the guarantee.

God's Word assures us that our eternal life is guaranteed if we believe that Jesus Christ is our savior. Nothing else is needed and as the verse above indicates God will wipe every tear away. Isn't that something we should set a goal for? Wouldn't you believe given this wonderful guarantee? Yet sadly, not everyone does. Share this promise of eternal life with those that either don't believe or who don't know so that more may know of His grace.
