Bible Question: I don't entirely understand this verse. |
Bible Answer: Hi annrichelle, A warm welcome! That's a lovely name by the way. Any true regenerate (born-again) believer in Jesus Christ, will have a natural disregard for the life they have here and now. Because we have eternity in mind, and know that this is just a shadow of what God has in store for us in the future. We also have no regard for worldly things, they are not what we can store up as treasure in heaven. Matt 6:20, Nonetheless, no-one want's to die, (though we look forward to being with Him), at least, no-one I know does! :-) That is a future which is forever, by the way. :-) John 3:16 God bless John |
