Eternity

  There is only one of two places in eternity that we can go: heaven or hell. Each one of us will be placed in one of these two places on judgment day to be there forever and ever. Our Lord in speaking of eternity in Matthew 25:46 says, "And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life". Notice that the duration of the lost in Hell is exactly the same as the duration of the saved in Heaven, "forever and ever".   It is hard for us as mortals to grasp how long eternity will be, but after we have been there a billion years, eternity will have just begun.
Heaven
Now let us turn our attention to something more pleasant, heaven. Our Lord says in John 14:2-3, "In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there you may be also". Heaven will be a very wonderful place. For the few who go there it will be beyond their wildest dreams and they will be totally surprised and amazed. There is no way that the glories of Heaven can be adequately described to us mortal beings. The only way will be to see it.
Hell
We do not like to think about eternal punishment. For a few moments let us consider what the Lord says about eternal punishment and then we will turn our attention to a more pleasant thought, heaven. Our Lord in describing how horrible that hell will be for the many who will end up going there, says in Matthew 13:42, "And will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth". This definitely will be a horrible and terrible place beyond description. Jesus says in Mark 9:45-46 concerning those who are lost, that they will be "cast into hell, into the fire that shall never shall be quenched: where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched". There will be no reprieve or appeal to a higher court, because we are being judged by the highest. The Lord is trying to get our attention and to give us fair warning. He is pleading with us not to go there, but we make the choice. The choice is ours. We will bear the responsibility and the consequences.

Investing in Eternity
John MacArthur

J. H. Jowett once said, "The real measure of our wealth is how much we would be worth if we lost all our money." He was right. Earthly riches or the lack of them has nothing to do with real wealth. The only treasure that matters is the treasure you lay up in heaven.
Jesus taught, "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also" (Matt. 6:19-21). That is a mandate, not a recommendation. Invest in eternity!
What an appropriate message for a culture like ours. People in our society are wealthier than any civilization in the history of man. Sadly, they rapidly squander their blessings on things that cannot last. If our treasure reveals the condition of our hearts (v. 21), this generation is in serious spiritual trouble. Our buying habits show little concern for anything of eternal value.
Americans are spending a significant portion of their incomes on luxury items and recreation—and they are spending it fast. Why wait until you can afford something, if you can charge it and have it instantly? Outstanding consumer debt in this country has skyrocketed, leaving many in financial shambles. They pursue the "good life," the so-called "American dream."
