There are so many things that seem utterly insignificant in the light of eternity, yet consume my life. Today’s question to consider is “Since I was made to last forever, what is the one thing I should stop doing and the one thing I should start doing today?” That really is a significant question. I found his use of Scripture solid throughout the chapter. In this chapter Warren quotes nine passages using 5 translations and paraphrases. Building on this, Warren shows how God’s purpose for me does not end with life on earth.
Every action I take and every choice I make has eternal consequences! What a vast and intimidating thought! Why hoard wealth if I can have it only for my life here on earth? The very second I die it will no longer be mine. So many things that are important in the 80 or 90 years I have here on earth fade to nothing in the light of eternity. The relationship I have with God in this life will determine whether I spend eternity with Him or seperated from Him.Ī knowledge of eternity is important as it will make me live in the light of eternity and determine how I handle every aspect of my life. Life on earth offers many choices, but eternity offers only two: heaven or hell.
Warren quotes 2 Corinthians 5:1 which describes how my earthly body is but a “tent” compared to my future body which is a “house.” The point is clear.
