This world Isn't my Home

"Earth hour may basbas". This was the title of a column written by Dona Pazzibugan in an Inquirer newspaper Libre, issued Tuesday, March 10, 2009. The news said that Manila Archibishop Gaudencio Cardinal Rosales is asking all the Roman Catholic in the Philippines to cooperate to the "Earth Hour", a wordlwide campaign to stop global warming, by turning off all the lights in the night of March 28 from 8:30 to 9:30. In the last sentence of the article, we could read:

"Our only home is this planet," anang cardinal.

There are only two kinds of reaction for this sentence.

There are two kinds of people who will react.

One will say: "Yes, he's right. This is our only home so we should take good care of it."

And another person who knows the truth of Father in heaven will say: "Definitely not for me. This world isn't my home. I'm only in a journey. My true home is up there in heaven."

And that person is the highly-intellectual being in the eyes of the Lord. And the former will be the moron. Innocence will not fit it.

This is the truth that only those people who believes in Father's promises that are written in the Bible knows that this earth is not their home. This is what we Iglesia Ni Cristo holds on and the reason why we are standing still. We're not a citizen of this world. We're like foreigners. We're only in a journey. Our real home is God's Kingdom. To be there, we should obey His words and commands. To those who can finish his race, the Holy City and Eternal Life will be given to him.

Hindi ito ang aking bayan
Ako'y naglalakbay lamang
Sa bayan kong paroroonan
May bagong langit at lupa

I love this hymn. This is one of our congregation hymn that will fit this topic.

Back to the cardinal's quote, noticed that he says not only "home" but "only home". It seems that they really believe (and it's true, good they know.. haha) that for them this earth is their only home.

So how do you differentiate God's real people from the other people?
I hope you now knew it.
