"Live for eternity"
I heard this phrase used on my first missions trip to Mexico.
As I know God more the less i seem to "belong to this world"
I don't pursue the things that everyone else seems to.
I finally understand what it means to "live for eternity"
As a follower of Christ my life is no longer restricted to death
instead there is no end just BETTER things that are coming.
When i think about it; "dying" will take like.... not that long and then I just continue living agian LOL
Think of it like this:
We are not actually scared of dying but we are ACTUALLY scared of the unknown and being separated from the people we care about....being alone.
but as Christians WE KNOW whats gonna happen and we wont be separated from those we care about (the church) instead we'll SPEND FOREVER with them!
Now i dont know the exact technical details.... but
I guess the thing you would want to aim for is to dye in between all the other people you know.
Cuz if you dye first then you won't know anyone except God which is cool but it would be amazinger if you knew some other pplz
IF you died last then you'll be alone in a painful. old, ugly body haha
but... if you dye in the middle then you have ppl to look forward to meeting agian and ppl to keep you company as you wait to "dye" LOL
or maybe when we dye....time fast forwards and we all wake up...0.o
Many times in church we say we have "eternal life" but we never LIVE like we have it. when i live in light of the limitless life i have, EVERYTHING changes.
Things that I placed in high pririty before have less importance on my "to do list"
I don't pursue things that will not last instead I look for things and pursue things that WILL last.
and in the end what will last?
YOURSELF and PEOPLE
RELATIONSHIPS
FIRST with GOD
then with others
...the thing is.... not EVERYBODY has eternal life.
When i picture Heaven I see all the GOOD things that happen on Earth multiplied by a bajillion. Some of the best times I had were with my friends.
So when i put two and two together
for this "temporary" phase of my life I want to bring people to LIVE IN ETERNITY . I want people to truly have LIFE.
I am FIGHTING for an ETERNITY that everyone can live happily in.
Being not of this WORLD ...is living in light of eternity.
