Recharge - Eternity and Salvation
My story and eternity
I grew up in England.
A big family, 5 boys and 1 girl.
We attended church weekly and my parents had roles in the leadership.
I went to Sunday school every week and bible knowledge came easy to me.
I would of been able to talk to you about any old testament story.
However, none of that helped me with the emptiness within me.
I knew that I was sinful.
Noone had to teach me how to lie.
Noone had to teach me how to hate.
No one needed to teach me how to be prideful or love myself above others.
That all came naturally to me.
Because I am sinful.
I am human.
Just like you.
I remember believing that when I die I would judged before God the Father.
I would stand before and be held accountable for everything that I had ever done.
The bible showed me this and so did my conscience.
I tried to live a day without sinning.
I would attempt to not lie or hate or be selfish.
Failed.
Then I found out that God would forgive me of my sins if I confessed them to him in prayer.
So I would pray every night, ‘please forgive me of my sins.’
But then I would sin again so I would have to ask for forgiveness again.
I remember how scared I was about dying before I could ask for forgiveness.
Dying in a flash without having the time to pray.
Silly I know but that is how I felt day in, day out.
I felt hopeless.
I felt like there was no point to my life.
I was 10 years old.
I don’t doubt for a second that I am the only one in this room that has ever felt that same hopelessness.
You don’t care about fun things.
You don’t care about food even.
There is a huge weight over your head and nothing else matters.
Nothing else matters
When you really look at life.
Nothing but one thing matters.
Eternity.
All we have ever known and experienced has begins and ends.
But time does not bind God.
And when God made us he created us to live with Him forever.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
He created Adam and Eve.
He gave them life by breathing into their lungs.
God created us in his own image.
We have a spirit.
A spirit that lives on past our physical death.
So that everything in our lives with culminate into a single moment of standing before a Holy God.
In Judgement because ‘all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.’ .
No one has lived a holy perfect life.
If you imagine the years that we lie here on earth.
What’s the average?
75 years or so?
How long is eternity?
So much more and unending and yet what do we live focused on?
We spend so much time and effort seeking to make this part the best ever.
I've asked many people this and noone, who doesn’t know Jesus, has ever say anything other than yes.
‘Does it ever feel like we are just distracting ourselves until we die?’
We look at the problem of our own death.
We all know we are going to die and yet we live as though we will never face this problem.
When you look at our world for answers all they can say is, love for the now.
Be in every moment you have because you won’t have them back.
Love your family and leave a good legacy.
As good as family and enjoying life can be it does answer that hopeless that we all feel inside.
God made you for more
Turn to .
This is written by a King, called Solomon.
Bible describes him as the wisest man who ever lived.
He was the most wealthy man who ever lived at that time.
Everything to do in life, he had done it.
He had sought relationship after relationship.
He had more wives that there are days in a year.
He worked so hard and in everything that he thought was interesting.
He distracted himself with everything in the world and in his own mind and yet we come to this moment that he writes.
‘What gain has a worker from his toil?
I have seen the business that God has given to the children of man to be busy with.
He has made everything beautiful in its time.’
God made the world and man’s place its all great and wonderful.
There is a time for everything.
But then catch the next statement.
‘Also, He has put eternity into man’s heart.’
When God made mankind he made us with eternity in our hearts.
The fact that there is a God who is above everything.
That there is something greater that we need to be apart of and with.
Something that transcends all things that we experience.
This eternity is a longing.
‘He has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find what God has done from beginning to the end.’
God put a longing in each and everyone of us.
This longing to find something awesome and above and beyond ourselves.
God made you that way and if you don’t find it you will be hungry for more and dissatisfied with temporary pleasures.
That is why we fill ourselves with things.
We think that we will get satisfaction from things here on earth.
Relationships, ‘my boyfriend is everything to me because he makes me feel so complete.
Don’t you ever leave me.’
Things, I need this, if not I will be miserable.
I will be empty unless I have it.
Work, maybe you’ve seen adults do this, where they give all their time and focus to a job or career.
We think we will find fulfillment in it.
Hobbies and entertainment, Video games filled this void in my heart for many years.
