Thursday Devotional - Seeking Immortality

Are you going to make new year’s resolutions for 2018? Often new year’s resolutions focus on things that will make us feel or look better, gain skills or accomplishments and ultimately provide what we think is a better quality of life.

Did you know Paul tells us to seek immortality???
Romans 2:6-11       God “will repay each person according to what they have done.”To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; 10 but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 11 For God does not show favoritism.

How will you and I seek glory, honor and immortality this coming year? Here are few ways:
Getting to know God better through reading the Bible
Joining a Bible study group
Doing a Bible study with our families
Praying for ourselves and others to know God better
Memorizing and meditating on Bible verses
Sacrificially serving others

Many of you already prioritize these things, knowing eternal life is the best reward!
Keep it up this coming year!
