Encouraging - Eternity

Only two things on earth will go into eternity - God's Word and people. God has placed us here to grow in Christ and to reproduce the life of Christ in others. Each of us has specific opportunities to do this in our own spheres of influence, and as we abide in Christ and let his words abide in us, we will bear lasting fruit (John 15:7-8), and the living God will confirm the work of our hands.
