When Eternity Calls

Ecclesiastes 3:11 “He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.” (NKJV)

Eternity is not a distant thought; it is the reality God has already planted within our hearts. Every man carries an inner witness that life on this earth is but a fraction of the journey. When eternity calls, it is not just a reminder of life after death, but a beckoning to live with divine perspective in the present.

The call of eternity demands that we weigh our choices against eternal consequences. Success, riches, and pleasures may occupy a man, but eternity will ask, “What did you do with Christ?” The rich man in Luke 16 enjoyed abundance, but when eternity called, his priorities were exposed. Lazarus, though poor in this life, answered eternity’s call with peace in Abraham’s bossom.

Eternity calls us to live as pilgrims, not permanent residents of this world.

It calls us to walk by faith, not sight; to labor in love, not selfish gain; to build legacies that heaven acknowledges, not monuments that time erodes. When eternity calls, your relationship with God, your stewardship of time, and your love for others will be the only testimonies that follow you.
