On what are we fixing our eyes?

“Give your children and grandchildren the gift of a green and peaceful future. Take action and put a gift to Greenpeace in your Will,” I am reading in a GREENPEACE magazine. (Winter/Spring 2013) Ecotips on how to save the planet are also given. It says, “There are many different ways that you can help the Earth to be a healthy and happy place for us all to live.”FIXING OUR EYES

We can fix our eyes on what is seen or we can fix our eyes on what is unseen. We can fix our eyes on the first heaven and the first earth or we can fix our eyes on the new earth and the new heaven.

The Bible tells us about the new earth and the new heaven.

Heaven is the home of the Lord God. (Matthew 6:9)

Heaven is a building. It is not only a building, but it is the building of God. (Second Corinthians 5:1)

Heaven is called a garner, a barn. (Matthew 3:12)

Heaven is called the kingdom of God and of Christ. (Ephesians 5:5)

Heaven is called the Father’s house. (John 14:2)

Heaven is called a place of rest. (Hebrews 4:9)

Heaven is called paradise. (Second Corinthians 12:4)

I want to fix my eyes on what is unseen, because what is unseen is eternal, but what is seen is temporary.
