There are Christians today whose motive for coming to Christ is to gain in this life. They are not believers because they want to go to Heaven, but because they want to use the way of Christ to make physical gains in this life. Many pastors preach only for money. Many pastors have established churches with the sole aim of getting money. Most believers too in the church today are untrue. They only use the attendance as a cover-up. Deep within them, it is because they may marry, build a house, buy a car, make money, travel abroad or aquire another thing carnal that is motivating them. Meanwhile, there is only one real reason why Christ died on the cross for us and rose from the grave. It was to save us into eternal life so we could also have hope of living with God in the end. Yet all the above carnal reasons are leading most of believers to death even while in the churches. Paul wrote and saids: 'If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied(1 Corinthians 15:19).' He also wrote in Colossians 3:1: 'Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.' Keep your faith in Christ on the hope of going to Heaven. The temporal opportunities people want from it lasts shortly.

*Prayer:* Dear Lord, help me set my hope in Heaven, in Jesus Christ name. Amen.
