Are you going to do what in the future? 1

* Luís Alberto Alves

To reaffirm this lie, it puts in the mouths of some people that nobody came back to say what it is like to live in eternity. Better not to doubt. It is in this trap that the Christians of the late twentieth century and this century are falling. They have stopped seeking the Heavens to spend their energies here on this planet. They began to live for the world, leaving God in the background.

The watchword is to enjoy life in every way, by going over the commandments of the Lord. The pleasure of the flesh is better than being in tune with Jesus Christ. The gospel got the stamp of "grimace and outdated." It is as if God were wrong and sure was the fad created and encouraged by satan. Disorder in every way is correct, ignoring what Paul said in 1 Corinthians 14/33: "For God is not a God of disorder, but of peace ..."

When a preaching approaches this subject, soon the speaker is accused of lack or as it is said today: it is homophobic! That is, Jesus Christ, in the vision of a large portion of people who have not yet had a great encounter with God, stopped in time; did not adopt the customs of the new world order. The important thing is now. The future does not matter.

But yes or no, the human being is directed to the future. Today's gift will be spent tomorrow. There is no way to stop this process. Who is young today, if he is not caught by the wave of violence, and Jesus does not return soon, will be the old man of tomorrow. The end of every Christian is to enter into eternity, especially after the great final judgment. Some will stand by Jesus Christ, others plunge into hell thickening the satan-led team of demons in that place.

Therefore, the Christian can never lose sight of his place in Heaven. You need to fight fiercely to keep the dark shadows from covering you, leaving you out of sight. The focus is eternity. Before we have to study, work, raise a family, we contribute through our profession to the progress of society, but without forgetting that we are passengers in this world. When we do this, we easily overcome the traps of satan.
