Just read Hebrews 1 and was struck with how absurd it is to live for this life only. In verses 11 and 12 we are told that this world "will wear out like old clothing." "They (the foundations) will fade away like old clothing." God "will roll it up like a worn out coat."
One day this world as we know it will be thrown away and God will make the new heaven and new earth and we who know him will experience life as He intended it. What a pity it is for those who have traded the life which is coming for this present life, which is only a shadow of things to come and will one day fade away - wear out like an old coat.
Let us who believe give our lives away to help others find and follow Christ.
