If you wonder what your life’s priority and story is, look to what satisfies the longing of your heart and where it finds rest: “For where your treasure is there will your heart be also” (Luke 12:34). David Gooding says, “Store up your treasure on earth, and it will inevitably pull your heart in the direction of earth. Store it in heaven, and it will pull your heart, and with it your goals, ambitions and longings, toward heaven.”[13] If God is indeed most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him, then let our treasure and God’s pleasure align.

The Way
Consider the immediate reality of this eternal life! How we live now has meaning and significance. As R.C. Sproul said rightly, “Right now counts forever.” [3] And as Jesus is the Way, it is through him that we live this life. The way to eternal life and the way to live life are one in the same—through faith in the Son of God. This is why Paul could say, “the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me” (Gal. 2:20), and that “the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, ‘The righteous shall live by faith’” (Rom. 1:17).
