As a man thinks in his heart so is he: you are the product of your thoughts. Unbelievers are not concerned about going to heaven so their affection is set on earthly things. They are worldly because the god of this world controls them. Believers should not be conformed to this world because although they are in the world, they are not of the world. Every believer should therefore seek to have the mind of Christ.

There are many Christians whose hope are not beyond this life, for they serve not the Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly. Such people whose hope in Christ ends here on earth should be pitied, because they are of all men most miserable. Their suffering in hell will be worse than those who did not believe in Christ, the only way to the Father. Irrespective of what they are doing for the Lord, they are wasting their time.

Some of the things that you do may not be evil in themselves but can cause others to stumble. Therefore, for the sake of others who Christ died for, we must be mindful of what we do or say, considering the impact it will have on them. Every heaven-bound child of God must ensure that their good works are not evil spoken of: considering other people in all that they do.

There are only two voices that speak to men, namely the voice of wisdom and the voice of folly. While the voice of wisdom calls men to understanding, reproves scorners, rebukes and instructs the wise, the voice of folly calls men away from the path of life and righteousness. Every believer must therefore, learn how to discern the voice of folly, to avoid ending their pilgrimage in hell. 

There are secrets in the Scriptures that will enable believers to serve God acceptably when they are revealed. Although these secrets are there in the Word of God, only those who search the Scriptures diligently will discover and profit from them. It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter - Proverbs 25:2.
