Romans 12:2 Do not
conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of
your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his
good, pleasing and perfect will.
The Bible gives 3
examples that addresses of God's view of life:
1) Life, as we know
it is a test. Following and learning of God gives us the means to endure and
pass the tests.
James 1:12 Blessed
is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that
person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who
love him.
Hebrews 10:23 Let
us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.
2) We are entrusted
with the things of God. We never own anything outright here on Earth, God just
loans them to us in stewardship.
Psalm 24:1 ... The
earth is the LORD's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it;
1 Corinthians 4:2 Now
it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.
Luke 16:10 "Whoever
can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is
dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.
If you recognize and treat everything as God's, he promises rewards in eternity.
If you recognize and treat everything as God's, he promises rewards in eternity.
Matthew 25:21 "His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'
1 Timothy 3:13 Those who have served well gain an excellent standing and great assurance in their faith in Christ Jesus.
3) Life is a temporary assignment
Psalm 39:4 "Show
me, LORD, my life's end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting my
life is.
Job 8:9 for we
were born only yesterday and know nothing, and our days on earth are but a
shadow.
When you come to the realization that life and all that we hold dear
here on Earth are temporal out thinking about eternity should radically change
