His words shall not pass away

Solomon said: “All that is under heaven is vanity, vanity of vanities.” The man is busy and strives to achieve things, to succeed, however, although all this is good, everything passes, has expiration date, perishes, although at a certain time we are satisfied, in eternity will not be able to do it. Let’s run and fight for eternal things!

The words of Solomon remind us of a profound reality: everything in this earthly life has a limit. Human beings invest time, strength, creativity and resources in building dreams, careers, businesses and reputations. We rejoice in achievements, we celebrate victories, and we experience satisfaction. But Solomon, with the wisdom given by God, exposes the fragile nature of everything temporal. This message is not meant to frustrate us, but to open our eyes to the truth that our hearts should not rest solely on what fades.

Jesus said something very important:

35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Matthew 24:35-37

Christ affirms with absolute authority that even heaven and earth—the greatest physical realities we know—will one day disappear. This declaration serves as a strong reminder that nothing material, no matter how impressive or valuable, will remain forever. The end of all things will come, and it will be sudden and unexpected, just as in the days of Noah. People in Noah’s time lived their daily lives, chasing pleasures and goals, without imagining that divine judgment was approaching. In the same way, today many live as if this world were permanent, ignoring the eternal dimension.

One day the sky and the earth will pass away, everything that is important for us will end, all our goods, the great buildings, the luxurious cars, the mega houses, everything will end! and we must be aware of this, so that we do not cling to the things of this world, that we do not cling to them as if they were eternal. The apostle Paul said: “We look not at the things that are seen, but at the things that are not seen, for the things that are seen are temporary, but the things that are not seen are eternal (2 Corinthians 4:18).”

This powerful teaching from Paul invites us to lift our gaze beyond what our eyes can observe. The world offers us temporary comforts and temporary achievements, yet these are like vapor—visible for a moment and then gone. The eternal realities, though unseen, are the ones that truly sustain the soul. Faith, salvation, holiness, and the promises of God remain firm and unchangeable. When we meditate on this, our priorities begin to shift. We start to desire heavenly things more than earthly possessions, and we learn to walk by faith and not by sight.

The only thing that we have and will never pass away is: “The Word of God”. The Words of God are eternal, they do not end, they have no expiration date because they are eternal and produce eternal life in us, and that is why we must hold on to the Word of God and live each day for Him.

This truth should fill us with deep gratitude. Everything in life may change—our health, our financial condition, our relationships, our circumstances—but the Word of God remains the same. It guides us, corrects us, strengthens us, and preserves us. It reveals the heart of God and leads us to Christ, who is Himself the living Word. When we embrace Scripture, we anchor our souls in something immutable. The world may shake, but those who stand on the Word stand firm.

Therefore, let us not run after what perishes, but after what produces true and eternal fruit. Let us invest our time in knowing God, loving others, serving with sincerity, and storing treasures in heaven. May the Word of God be our lamp, our foundation, and our greatest treasure until the day we see Christ face to face.
