Your Predicted Future
Notes

Telos: We have a predicted destiny to stand before God Almighty
Information-
Our entrance to heaven is strictly from our faith in Christ. Nothing More…
By grace you are saved through faith…
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
Jesus Paid It All
vs 4: And when, before the throne,
I stand in Him complete,
"Jesus died my soul to save,"
My lips shall still repeat.
Chorus: Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.
Inspiration
12 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.
13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.”
Life begins wide, but ends narrow.
14 And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you; for you shall be repaid at the resurrection of the just.”
Revelation
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
Application
What did we do with the life given us?
The most famous quote from Saving Private Ryan are Captain Miller's (Tom Hanks) dying words to Private Ryan (Matt Damon):
"Earn this. Earn it."
Transformation
14 I am a debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to wise and to unwise.
Life begins wide, but ends narrow.
27 And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment,
21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
Our eternal rewards are impacted by our lifetime decisions.

1 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea.
2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.
4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
5 Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.”
