(1Ti 6:17) “Charge them that are rich in this world, … (19) Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.” “Lay hold of eternal life” here does not mean if one doesn’t, they will lose the gift God gave. It means to live in the mindset of one who will live eternally, for thoughts dictate actions. Lord help us: believers are too earthly minded. We have failed to reprogram our minds to God’s Word. Therefore, we think like the world. No wonder they do not see Christ in us!
