EYES ON ETERNITY

The many churches today are very active in supporting the rights of people who are Gay to obtain the privileges that married people receive from the government.  But are they equally concerned about the rights and privileges people receive from being a child of God?

“Jesus came to his own, and his own people did not receive him.  But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.” (John 1:11, 12).

The Church of God has a mission.  It is to reestablish a broken relationship between God the Creator and His creation so that we, as people, can live in right relationship with our Creator.  The coming of Jesus and the work of Jesus gives everyone that right, but it is each individual’s choice to choose to accept or reject. 

I would ask that the Church keep its eye on the goal line, on the one thing that is important.  There is no marriage in heaven.  There is a relationship with God. 

“Behold the dwelling place of God is with man.  He will dwell with them, and they will be His people, and God Himself will be with them as their God” (Revelation 21:3).

The fight between Gay Marriage will never be settled.  The Church needs to render unto Caesar’s what is Caesar’s and unto God what is God’s. The Church needs to look above and beyond this world to what matters for eternity.
