What you do today matters for eternity. (1 Corinthians 15:30-34)

1 Corinthians 15:30-34


New International Reader's Version (NIRV)


30 And why would we put ourselves in danger every hour?
31 I die every day. I really mean that, brothers and sisters. Here is something you can be sure of. I take pride in what Christ Jesus our Lord has done for you through my work. 32 Did I fight wild animals in Ephesus for only human reasons? Then what have I gotten for it? If the dead are not raised,
“Let us eat and drink,
    because tomorrow we will die.” (Isaiah 22:13)
33 Don’t let anyone fool you. “Bad companions make a good person bad.” 34 You should come back to your senses and stop sinning. Some of you don’t know anything about God. I say this to make you ashamed.
 
 

If death ended it all, enjoying the moment would be all that matters. But Christians know that there is life beyond the grave and that our life on earth is only a preparation for our life that will never end. What you do today matters for eternity.  In light of eternity, sin is a foolish gamble.
