Glorious Future

2 Corinthians 4:18

“While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 

"Looking into the future -- the Christian sees sin cast out, the body of sin and death destroyed, the soul made perfect, and fit to be a partaker of eternal glory. Looking further yet, the believer's enlightened eye can see death's river passed. He sees himself...

enter within the pearly gates,

hailed as more than conqueror,

crowned by the hand of Christ,

embraced in the arms of Jesus,

glorified with Him on His throne!

Contemplation of my glorious future may well relieve

the darkness of the past, and

the gloom of the present!

The joys of heaven will surely compensate for the sorrows of the earth!" ~Charles Spurgeon

2 Timothy 4:8

“Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.”
