When I Get To Glory

Many of us are fascinated with "eschatology" or the end times that we forget that we have to live on this earth. Focusing on heaven is not a bad idea, but we must also have a working knowledge of "soteriology" or the doctrine of salvation. If we are not saved then we can't enter into the kingdom of heaven. It puzzles me to hear people say what they plan to do when they get to heaven, and when I look at what they are currently doing it doesn't add up.

Jesus said in Matthew 25:21, "His lord said unto him, 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." How can we anticipate God calling us a faithful servant when we have not done any serving? We have to serve God and man alike on our journey here on earth, and when we have prayed our last prayer, and sang our last hymn, we then can patiently await for our entrance into a house eternal in the heavens not made by man's hands. Jesus is coming back, so we should not try to wait until we get to heaven to live Holy. Be ye holy as God is holy.
