There is more to life than just here and now

While life on earth offers us many choices, eternity offers only heaven and hell. Our relationship with God on earth will determine our relationship to Him in eternity. If we learn to love and trust Jesus Christ, we will be invited to spend the rest of eternity with Him. If we reject His love, forgiveness and salvation, we will spend eternity apart from God forever.

When we fully understand that there is more to life than just here and now, we will realize that life is just preparation for eternity. We will begin to live differently. We will start to live in eternity, and that will add colour to how we handle every relationship, task and circumstances. Suddenly many activities, goals and even problems seem so small and unworthy of our attention. The closer we live to God, the smaller everything else appears. We place higher premiums on relationships and character instead of fame or wealth, achievements or fun. We will reset our priorities.

1 John 2 : 17
This world is fading away, along with everything it craves. But if you do the will of God, you will live forever.
