Center Point Assembly

Sunday, October 23, 2022 - The title of this week's message is "Heaven's Perspective of Earth." One may not appreciate that Heaven has a vested interest in Earth. The reason is, everything about Heaven, except for God, depends on what happens on earth. Think about it this way, no one takes anything with them when they die. Whether a person is welcomed in Heaven or destined to suffer in Hell, they take nothing with them other than what they sent ahead while they were alive. This means Heaven's economic system begins first with the "free gift of God's saving Grace and Mercy" and secondly with the "works of men while they live on earth." When we understand Heaven's perspective like this, it helps us appreciate why we need to work hard in the Kingdom of God while we have opportunities on earth. As we set our eyes on Heavenly things, it also helps us live peacefully while going through the hard knocks of life, knowing that we are simply passing through this life as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob recognized.
