Exodus 6:4 (Amplified Bible) I have also established My covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their temporary residence in which they were strangers.
1 Peter 1:17-19 (Amplified Bible) And if you call upon Him as [your] Father Who judges each one impartially according to what he does, [then] you should conduct yourselves with true reverence throughout the time of your temporary residence [on the earth, whether long or short]. You must know (recognize) that you were redeemed (ransomed) from the useless (fruitless) way of living inherited by tradition from [your] forefathers, not with corruptible things [such as] silver and gold, But [you were purchased] with the precious blood of Christ (the Messiah), like that of a [sacrificial] lamb without blemish or spot.
We are not given the promise of tomorrow so many choose to live for the day. They want to spend and play just for the joy of the moment. We are not promised to have another second here on this earth but we will have eternity to spend in either Heaven or hell. The decision to follow Jesus you make while you are here on earth is the only factor in your eternal destination. However if you have truly decided to follow Christ the remaining time you spend here on earth should give evidence of that decision to follow Christ. You can still enjoy your journey here but you should always be striving to look like Christ to the world.
Love and God Bless,
