Eternal life is a form of life, just as physical life is a form of life. Physical life enables us to stay warm, to act, to breathe, to work, to reproduce. It actually is a weak form of life in that it can be ended in a moment. Also it is corruptible, always aging and moving toward total corruption. This is not life, it is little more than conscious existence.

Eternal life is the Life of God. It is full of joy, peace, love, and every other desirable state of being. It lives in the Presence of God. It always exists because God always exists. It is not a case of duration of time but of the Presence of God. I would not doubt that from our position in the spirit world we will be able to view any event on earth of the past, present, or future, just as God can.

I think fortune tellers can tell the future because the demons can view future events and are not themselves bound by time.

Perhaps the most foolish decision a human being can make is to focus his attention on the weak, corruptible elements of the physical world. Of course we have to behave responsibly and fulfill all our earthly duties. If we do not, we cannot possibly enter the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God is for the diligent and conscientious—for those who prove themselves worthy of the Kingdom.

After having taken care of our obligations, there should be enough time left to walk with Jesus and dine with Him on His body and blood. If there is not enough time and strength left to nourish our eternal personality, then we need to ask the Lord to rearrange our circumstances so we do have time for that which is most needful.

To go through life and never learn to live by the body and blood of Christ is to miss all that is of true value. We have wasted our time on the earth.

To be continued.
