“Wherefore, beloved, seeing that we look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.” In other words, we’re to live a holy life down here. That means a life separated unto God. And, friends, after all, what is really worthwhile in this earth today? What are your goals? Are you a productive Christian today, moving to a worthwhile goal? Well, somebody says, “I’m going to raise my family.” That’s worthwhile. Somebody says, “I want to make a good living for my family and educate my children.” That’s worthwhile. These things are worthwhile. But really, what is the object of your life? Is it to live for God? And if you live for God today, all of these secondary issues, I believe, will take care of themselves.

Allow grace to revolutionize your own life through these seven lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.
