Words For Eternity!

King James Version (Matthew 25:21)

Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

What would Mrs. Collins want? For her family, her … to know God.

1. There is an eternity!

The human soul.

If there is an eternity then that means what we do in this life matters.

My grandmother Chard used to make this comment often. This life is a dress rehearsal for eternity!

2. If there is an eternity then there is also an entrusting!

There are things that God has entrusted to us in this life. This is proven by our text.

King James Version (Matthew 25:21)

Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

What is that God has entrusted to us?

i. He has entrusted Faith to us.

Faith comes from the Lord. It is by faith that you can be saved.

King James Version Chapter 11

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

King James Version Chapter 6

12 jFight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

In this life you will have tribulation.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous.

ii. Grace

Relying on the mercies of God.

King James Version (Chapter 2)

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

iii. Talents

Abilities, giftings. Using them for the Glory of God.

iv. His Word

King James Version Chapter 6

I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession; 14 That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:

If you love Me keep my commandments.

King James Version Chapter 25

Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

3. For those who keep the faith and rely on His Grace and serve the Lord there is an entering!

King James Version (Matthew 25:21)

Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

King James Version Chapter 4

For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. 7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 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.
