1.ETERNAL PARDON
Romans 6:23 I John 5:11
In a changing world God’s pardon is eternal. Man faces sudden changes in life through natural calamities, loss,ill health, disappointments etc. In the midst of sweeping and sometimes painful changes the eternal God is a refuge. God offers eternal pardon of all of man’s sins through the blood of Jesus Christ. This pardon and forgiveness also gives eternal life and salvation to man. Humanity tormented by guilt and restlessness can receive the eternal pardon and eternal life offered by God through Jesus Christ.
2.ETERNAL PASSION
Jeremiah 31:3
In a changing world God’s passion and love for us is eternal. So many people are heartbroken because of unreliable human love. The love of man may have many hidden strings attached .People may love because of money ,position,popularity, etc.This love will change when the circumstances change. The only reliable love is God’s love which is unconditonal and eternal.His love will continue for ever inspite of changing circumstances in our life.
3.ETERNAL PRESENCE
Psalms 16:11 Isaiah 54:8
In a changing world God’s presence is eternal.No one can be with us all the time.Parents,friends, neighbours,relatives or colleagues can be with us only at certain times and for a certain period. Only God can be with us all the time. If we depend on people we will be disappointed when they cannot be with us. We must depend on the eternal presence of God who will never leave us nor forsake us.
4.ETERNAL PROMISES
Isaiah 55:3
In a changing world God’s promises are eternal. People may forget their promises or even deny them. They may be unable to fulfill their promises becauses of their own difficulties. So many people are dissapointed because of failed promises. In the midst of these failures God’s promises are a strong foundation for our lives.The promises of God are unfailing and eternal. His promises to Abraham were fulfilled even though the circumstances appeared impossible. Let us trust the eternal promises of God .
5.ETERNAL POWER
I Timothy 6:16
In a changing world God’s power is eternal.Human power and authority is changing all the time. But God is always on the throne. He will rule forever and His power never changes. Depending on the power of man and other earthly resources can fail us anytime.But the eternal power of God will always be available to work for us. Let us depend on the eternal power of God.
6.ETERNAL PURPOSE
Ephesians 3:11
In a changing world God’s purposes and plans are eternal. Even before the foundation of the world God’s eternal plans and purposes were established.We must discover the eternal plan of God for our lives. Human plans are always short sighted when compared to God’s plans. God’s plans and ways are higher than ours.Let us depend on God’s plans and fulfill our destiny in life.
7.ETERNAL PURITY
Isaiah 6:3
In a changing world God’s purity is eternal. The world’s standard of holiness keep changing all the time.Unacceptable lifestyle can become normal with the passage of time. But God’s holiness and purity never changes according to the world’s standards.His purity and holiness is eternal. He calls us to be holy even as He is holy.
