Quality of Life

We must always remember that real life is not now on this earth. Because life on this earth is a short and temporary life, and is a failed, damaged product. An intelligent God could not possibly have intended to create a flawed life; where there is disease, poverty, disaster, war and the peak is death. Life on this earth is a truly tragic life, because success will end anyway, and that is tragic. Indeed, when we are in a state of no problems, healthy, have lots of money, have lots of fun, we do not think about the tragedy of life. But imagine if we were in a funeral home, then we saw someone lying stiff in a coffin, tragic.
Anyone can enter the coffin: children, teenagers, young people, old people. Don't think that coffins are only for old people, young people can also die. So, let's always remember that real life is later. Don't let us forget, because if we forget, first, we become careless . Life doesn't care about everything we do, whereas everything we sow, we reap. The Bible says that each of us must appear before the judgment seat of Christ. And each person will receive what he deserves (Rom. 14:12). So nothing is free. If someone acts or acts evil towards others, he will surely reap one day.
Even though today seems safe. But, let's not be blind to conscience; not caring that what he did had consequences, not free. We hurt or hurt people, there is a price. Maybe the person we hurt can't fight us. So we feel safe, there is no evidence. Certainly, no matter how clever we are to avoid the consequences of evil, in God's court we cannot avoid it. Don't follow suit with evil. It is better for us to be harmed than to benefit, but we are evil. If we are harmed, and we are on the weak side and cannot sue, we remain silent. God will return it. Believe me, God is a Just Judge. And conversely, if we are merciful to others, then we will also receive mercy, God will also be merciful to us. God will help.
Second, we do not learn in this world. Although in this world we enter the school of life. Some pass, some don't. Those who pass will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Those who do not pass are not allowed to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Those who pass are those who do the Father's will (Mat. 7:21). In everything we do, we do not hurt or injure people. And in every decision we make, exactly as God wants. Matthew 6:19 says, "Lay up treasures in heaven, not on earth. Where your treasure is, there your heart is." So we must strive to live righteously, more and more righteously, and fill our lives with good deeds. For that, we go to school. Church is where we get our briefings; brief explanation. After getting a short explanation in church, we practice in our daily lives.
Remember, if we are still evil, we will be humiliated, and what is terrible, thrown into the lake of fire. We are stepped on, it's okay, because we want to learn to be spiritually mature. Treated unfairly, keep quiet. If you already have a life partner, don't cheat, don't date anymore. Even thinking dirty or looking at the opposite sex in the wrong way is not allowed. We want, one day when we close our eyes, God is satisfied with our condition. So, if now we are getting older, we have to tidy up more; finishing well ; the suitcase project means the packing project. If we understand eternity, then we will not be busy with other things. In fact, other busyness is only directed towards eternity, the focus is on eternity. Ironically, many people are blind to eternity. In fact, each of us can die at any time.
Third , we do not serve God. In fact, people who serve God on earth will serve God in heaven. Serving God is an effort to save others. That is important. Being saved is not just going to church or becoming a Christian. Being saved means changing to be perfect like the Father and similar to Jesus. Let us not listen to slander that says that we cannot be perfect. That is slander against God. From small things, we train to be perfect, we can. If we do not serve God on earth, we will not serve God forever. And if we continue to grow, we can have the heart of God.
Don't let the church become like a place of entertainment; where the congregation comes to church once a week, sings, listens to sermons, goes home, but there is no change. Or like a hospital that does not provide healing. Meeting with God, it changes lives. The quality of our lives is not because we are highly educated, or are in a college academic environment. However, the quality of our lives is built day by day when we protect ourselves from wrongdoing, from day to day learning to be better through life experiences.
