Rom 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
2Co 4:18 ... for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
The carnally minded are only concerned with the HERE and NOW, with all the things that will pass away, with all the things they cannot take with them in death.
The spiritually minded are concerned with the things which are NOT seen here and now, with the things that are eternal, with thing they will take with them in death and wake with when Christ returns for them.
To be carnally minded is to embrace eternal death.
To be spiritually minded is to embrace eternal life and peace in Christ Jesus.
How many people are embrace eternal death every single day as their focus forever seems to remain upon this that are seen, things that are only temporary?
We do know this…
Rev 20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
Rev 20:8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
The number of wicked, the number of carnally minded will be with Satan at the very end and their number is…
AS THE SAND OF THE SEA.
And we also know this…
Mat_7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
FEW THERE BE THAT FIND IT.
We do have HOPE that we will NOT be numbered among those who will be as the sand of the sea, and that HOPE is found solely in our SAVIOR, our SAVIOR who came to show us, to teach us to live our lives SPIRITUALLY in HIM, through HIM, by HIM.
Don't you see how important it is to live SPIRITUALLY? It's so much more important than our living physically, and I know even as I write that how incredibly strange it must sound, but it's truth!
What do we gain by being alive if we are not spiritual? And if we are spiritual we know that the physical world we live in right now is only temporal and not eternal.
You can have your physical life but you will take that physical life to that great day when Satan gathers all those that are his to fight against God, who has already won. That great day will end in fire and all the wicked will be burned to extinction. The carnal, the physical life they've cherished will mean absolutely nothing because it will not exist any more.
Where should our focus be?
On things ETERNAL.
God will take care of the rest.
Easy to say, right? But truthfully when we obsess about the 'rest of things' the things not eternal does that obsession do any good? It gets us all caught up in the cares of this life and takes our minds off where? Eternal things.
The worst of the worst can happen to us physically in this world, the absolute worst and it can't keep us from things ETERNAL unless all that horrible, awful, terrible worst of the worst stuff takes our minds off things eternal- off our SAVIOR and all HIS PROMISES that are focused on the eternal.
Please LORD help us keep our minds focused on things ETERNAL, not on things that are temporal! Please LORD.
Please!
Satan would have us, Lord! SAVE US!
Please Lord, Pray for US!
Luk 22:32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
Pray that our FAITH- our looking for things unseen- will NOT FAIL. Help us LORD to strengthen those around us as YOU convert us to do so!
Please LORD, bless us!
PLEASE LORD, have mercy on us, we don't deserve it, we will never deserve it, never! All by YOUR GRACE! YOUR LOVE!
PRAISE YOU GOD!
