Home — Part 2
“For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ” (Philippians 3:20).
Every true child of God will be gathered safely home to heaven, but how much better to walk in the path of His choosing than in our own ways. Some might argue that it makes little difference as long as we get to the Father’s house, but this would show an utter indifference to His claims over us. Can it be that, knowing what it cost the Lord to redeem us to Himself, we would not want to please Him in our lives? Then too, there is a day of manifestation coming when God will make known what has been according to His mind, and reward it. Let us seek grace to be faithful to Him. “For we are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s” (1 Corinthian 6:20).
“For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope…” (Titus 2:11-13).
