Life here on earth is only temporary. We are just passing through on our way to eternity. That is why Jesus tells us in the Bible to build up treasures in heaven, not on earth. Mathew 6:20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.
Luke 12:19-21 “And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”‘ “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself? “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”
Colossians 3:1-3 “If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sits on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.”
1 Peter 2:11 Beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts which wage war against the soul.
2 Corinthians 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
2 Corinthians 5:1 For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.
2 Peter 3:11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness.
Romans 12:2a Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
1 John 2:15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
Colossians 3:2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.
John 17:16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
John 2:17 And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.
James 4:4 You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
None of us are guaranteed tomorrow...Our time here is limited. We will leave these earthly bodies behind and all our earthly possessions. What matters is what we do while we're here. Were we good and faithful stewards? Is our name written in the Lamb's Book of Life? So long as there is still breath in us, it is not too late to make a decision to lay up treasures in heaven by seeking God first, repenting of our sins, and receiving Christ Jesus as our Lord and Savior.
