Where are you planning to spend eternity_

Lesson Summary
The class opened with a warm welcome and a comparison between the fluctuating real‑estate market of Meridian and the eternal choices each person faces. The teacher emphasized that, just as location determines a house’s value, "location, location, location" is the decisive factor for eternity—either heaven or hell. Using Philippians 3:20 and Revelation 21:27, he reminded the congregation that our citizenship is in heaven and that only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life will enter the New Jerusalem. The lesson then explored the biblical metaphor of believers as "aliens," "strangers," and "pilgrims," citing Hebrews 11 and Philippians 4:3 to illustrate that Christians live on earth as temporary residents, awaiting their true home. Practical illustrations about state citizenship and local privileges highlighted the privileges of heavenly citizenship. The teacher concluded with a call to examine one's eternal address, encouraging attendees to choose the heavenly location and secure their place in God's eternal kingdom.
