Case Study: Two ways to plan for eternity are found in Luke 16:22-25. You can live with only wealth in mind or with Jesus in mind. Your reward in heaven is not linked to wealth here on earth. Planning a rich and abundant life with Jesus is the only path, according to the Bible. Every task we put on our earthly schedule should be to glorify the kingdom of God.
The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried, and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. And he called out, "Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame." But Abraham said, "Child, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish."
Luke 16:22-25 English Standard Version (ESV)
You can have two outcomes in eternity-Luke speaks of the beggar and the rich man meeting their fates. How do we know that God wants us in heaven?
For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16
