Perhaps the greatest king to ever walk the face of this earth lived in the year 950Bc in the country of Israel. The king’s name was Solomon. When he was a boy, Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings in petition to God for wisdom to govern the people of God. (1 Kings 3:3-13). God granted Solomon great wisdom. (1 Kings 4:29-34). God also made Solomon wealthier than any king of his day. (1 Kings 10:23-25). Yet, for all that, Solomon still understood one thing. (Ecclesiastes 1:14). Everything done on this earth is meaningless, like chasing after wind. Why? (Ecclesiastes 8:8). No one has the power over death. When you die can you take anything with you? You can take nothing with you.
The Apostle Paul understood what Solomon was able to understand. (Romans 7:24-25). Though Paul had everything, he knew that one day he would have to die. How did Paul speak about himself? (Philippians 3:4-8). Paul considered all that he had before knowing Christ as rubbish. Everything that we gain on this earth is rubbish, unless it has to do with the salvation of souls. Paul embraced the path of Christ. (2 Corinthians 6:4-10). Though he possessed nothing, he had everything. Eternal life is everything! Jesus Christ let us understand this clearly. (Matthew 16:24-26). Those who understand the value of eternal life will hold tightly to it once they have obtained it. How is eternal life given? (John 6:53-56)(Luke 22:7-20). Though the New Covenant Passover we obtain eternal life.
The World Mission Society Church of God keeps the New Covenant Passover and we rejoice in having gained eternal life. Thanks to Christ Ahnsahnghong and Jerusalem Mother we are able to have the one meaningful thing on this earth – salvation. It might seem strange to those outside the Church of God that we should speak of eternal life and the kingdom of heaven so incessantly, but it is because we understand what is truly valuable. If you value eternal life, then please come to the World Mission Society Church of God.
