Time and Eternity

"Oh, that men and women would learn to live with an awareness that one day they are going to die!  Truly it is a waste of time to set our hearts on a dying world and its short-lived comforts and pleasures, and for the sake of momentary pleasures to lose a glorious eternity in Heaven!  Here we are striving, laboring, exhausting ourselves about little things, and running here and there like ants on an anthill and yet after a few years we will all be gone, and another generation will take our place.  Let us live for eternity.  Let us seek His Kingdom and His righteousness that can never be taken from us."  J.C. Ryle

For the genuine Christian... "Our bad things will turn to good, our good things can never be taken from us, and the best things are yet to come."  Jonathan Edwards
