As long as we are here on earth, we might have multiple objectives in mind. While some of us may have goals for our careers, families, and kids, the greatest goal we should all strive for is eternal life.
We must first set the objective in our minds in order to enter heaven. If we don’t get into heaven, the Lord said, all our efforts would be for nought. As a result, our first concern should be getting to heaven, which is what we should strive towards.
Jesus will return and take his people into his kingdom, according to the New Testament, which repeatedly reminds us of this. In light of it, we must prepare. We will always suffer if we don’t take the time to properly prepare ourselves.
In order to do our tasks on time, we need to be wise. In addition to thinking about our families, we also need to consider our souls. According to Jesus, we cannot trade anything for our souls. Therefore, we need to keep a close eye on it.
The following Bible verses will enlighten us as to the obligations we have and allow us to read and meditate on them so that we might fulfil our objectives before leaving this world.
