1 Timothy 6:21 - Missing Heaven by 18 Inches.

1 Timothy 6:21 (TLB) Some of these people 
have missed the most important thing in life - 
they dont know God. May Gods mercy be upon 
you. Sincerely, Paul 

COMMENTARY PEARL

   There are 18 inches between your head and 
heart. But, unfortunately, some people will miss 
heaven by those 18 inches. They know God in their 
heads but not in their hearts. They intellectually 
believe the Gospel, but theyve never let it 
change their hearts. 
   I went to school for a long time, a total 
of 24 years when you include my masters and 
doctorate degrees. Honestly, Ive forgotten much of 
what I learned during that time. 
   But Ive never forgotten the most 
important truth Ive ever learned: We were made by 
God and for God. Until we understand that, life 
will never make sense. 
   You were not made for your own sake.
   The Bible says, Some of these people 
have missed the most important thing in life - 
they dont know God (1 Timothy 6:21 TLB). 
   You might know string theory, chaos 
theory, or quantum physics. But if you dont know 
God, youve missed the purpose of your life. 
   At the end of your life, God will give 
you a final test. Heres the good news: 
Itll be an open-book exam. All the answers are in 
the Bible! 
   On that test, God wont ask you if you 
got straight As. He wont care about how well 
you did in your career. He wont ask to see 
your bank account balance. 
   Instead, hell ask you this: Did you 
get to know me? Did you build a relationship 
with my Son whom I sent to Earth to die on the 
cross for you? 
   Decide today that you will set your heart 
and mind on learning more about the most 
important truth and getting to know Jesus. [Daily
