Share the Treasure
In this world the norm is to hide something precious so we will not loose it and so it cannot be stolen. With the treasure of eternal life with God we should not respond that way, instead we should realize there is a great need to share this treasure with all those we can.
Where our treasure is, there we will find our heart. The treasure of God in us is enjoyed most when we share is with others. If our treasure is peace with God, we will do all we can to please our LORD and what most pleases Him is to share this message of peace and intimacy with Him with others. In this way, salvation, God's treasure for us, can be shared with the whole world and together all nations can worship Him.

A Precious Pearl
God wants us to have an intimate relationship with Him. Jesus compared this relationship with his Heavenly Father to a very valuable pearl that a jeweler discovered. The jeweler sold all he had just so he could buy that exceeding excellent pearl.
Paul said that new life in Christ is worth so much that he considered all his personal achievements and human recognitions as trash in comparison to Jesus Christ in his life.
This personal and intimate relationship with God is worth so much that we should be willing to pursue it no matter what the cost.

Treasure
God has treasures. His treasure of greatest value is his Son, Jesus Christ. The life of his Son is his own life. We all value our life because life is the most precious treasure we have.
There is another treasure that God values like he does his own Son... we are that treasure.
How can we be so valuable in God's eyes? Because we are his creation, loved and preferred, the apex of all his creation. And how do we know that God values us so? Because he gave his dear and unique Son, his own life, to rescue and redeem us.
We God's treasure. For this reason, Jesus paid, with his own life, our redemption.

The Ocean of Eternity
Life we live here in the earth is just a wave of time in the rest of the ocean of eternity. We must live for eternity, not passing pleasure.
Our Heavenly father made the temporary and natural. Jesus lived here in the earth so we, his earthly creation, could be with Him for eternity. Placing our faith in the eternal work of Christ in the cross, we choose to serve God and receive His eternal life. We determine our eternity.
Only by pursuing God can we take advantage of our wave of life and enjoy God's ocean of eternity.

Secure your Eternity with God
Our Eternal Father wants to enjoy in all his existence a perfect and permanent relation with mankind, ... blessing the apex of creation He had made. For this reason, when the first couple left God, the LORD decided to not leave them eternally separated from Him. When humanity rebelled, God demonstrated His great love by sending Jesus Christ to die for all humanity on the cross.
Put your trust in Jesus Christ. Secure your eternity with God.

Eternity in Our Souls
God created the heavens and the earth and said: let's make mankind in our image and according to our being... So the LORD formed man from the earth and breathed in his nose the breath of life; and mankind became a living being.
God made mankind according to his image and being; he made mankind with eternity in his soul so he could live forever.

A Life-style of Worship
Evening, morning and at noon I will pray; in the early hours of the morning I will seek you; I will bless you all day because is is better to be in your house than to live in the houses of the ungodly.
The Psalms express worship as a way of life. When we worship, we exalt Jesus Christ; we worship with our heart's attitude; a pure heart given to God. We worship Him at all times, in all places and in all situations and circumstances because Christ in the only on worth of our worship; Only Jesus deserves our worship. Worship Him daily, not just on Sundays. Worship Him in spirit and in truth.
Worship flows from the heart of a worshiper; it doesn't matter the place or the hour or the situation.
Let's worship Jesus Christ with all our hearts.
