If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
1 Corinthians 15:19.
It is good to always remind ourselves of the glorious life that awaits us after this present world. Having this truth in our subconscious mind will help us to live our life soberly with God’s wisdom.
It is clearly shown throughout the scripture that the benefit of following Jesus Christ is beyond this present life, and it is far greater than any material blessing or any miracle we can get here on earth. We have hope; this hope helps us to go through any challenge that comes our way in this world.
However, ignorance of this fact will make any Believer in Christ Jesus to be distracted from following the narrow path, which we’ve been called to walk in. This is the reason why a lot of Believers are being distracted by the cares and challenges of life.
We are not supposed to be afraid of death, since death to a believer is not an end in itself. Death only ushers us into our glorious inheritance. Besides, whether in death or in life, we know according to the scripture that Jesus Christ will come again.
Jesus Christ is going to come back for us his saints. If we are alive when Christ comes, we shall be changed to meet Him in the sky. One thing is sure; we shall put on an incorruptible immortal body that is not subjected to the effect of sin and death.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
1 Corinthians 15:53
We have an eternal future glory that awaits us after this life. This should be a great comfort to us irrespective of what we are going through in this world.
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
John 14:1-3.
Maranatha!
