Christians, I want to encourage you to remember this Y.O.L.F. – You Only Live Forever…Many of use are guilty of YOLO, but the Bible has clearly stated numerous time that we are to think “YOLF.”
“ Life is sobering and short and life is eternally long.” – Austin Stone Church This is why we love our neighbors even when it is hard and why we protect the unborn and the elderly. This is why we dignify each person we encounter in our daily lives. This is why we have an elevated view of human life and dignity.
This is why we have a sober minded view of this life and not a fearful view of death. This is why we embrace the freedom that comes from viewing this life as a steward of Christ.
This is why we have urgency and patience in the fight against sin. This is why we can faithfully endure the worst situations this life can throw at us.
This is why we can faithfully enjoy the best in this life. Many of us lose sight of this at some point of our lives. Remember that our eternal life is SO MUCH LONGER, SO MUCH BETTER, AND SO MUCH MORE WORTHY of our time, energy, and efforts. This mortal life is a small sliver of eternity.
How are you going to live? 1 John 5:11″And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.”
