Luke 9:25 “For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost?”
The world is not enough! All the the old devil may offer is this old world. That was his offer to Jesus in the temptation. But, the world cannot compare to eternal life. One single eternal life, free with God and in His care, is worth a million million of this old world of ours. As Paul says it, the great and eternal weight of glory is so much more to be grasped. We are pursuing something of absolutely infinite worth.
This is one of the most foundational virtues of Christianity. The value of a single human life is extremely great. This is absolutely vital to a good understanding of the teaching of Christ. His is a doctrine of life. As He tells us, He came to give us life, and to give it to us more abundantly.
Heavenly Father, may life be ever before me! Make me a great lover of the life that You give. Not this earthly temporary part of it only, but also the eternal part that is so much greater. Thank You for life in Christ! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
