Apply

1. Why is it such a struggle to live with eternity in mind? Read Colossians 3.1-4 and consider what it would look like to “seek the things above” in your daily life this week.

2. Prayerfully determine the main biblical truth or principle that God revealed to you during your study. A few questions to ask are: Is there a promise for me to claim? Is there a truth for me to believe? Is there a command for me to obey?

3. Memorize: Revelation 1.3 "Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy aloud, and blessed are those who hear and obey the things written in it, because the time is near!"
