🔰 Introduction
This teaching called believers to live with a conscious awareness of eternity. Using Jesus’ words in John 14:1–6, the message emphasized that earthly life is temporary, while eternity is certain. The focus was on aligning daily living, decisions, and conduct with eternal realities rather than temporary gains. Believers were reminded that salvation is not merely a confession but a transformed life that reflects righteousness, obedience, and genuine faith.
