Hope In The Living God
1 Timothy 4:10 (and for this we labor and strive), that we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially for those who believe.
We labor and strive to be godly, because it has value in the life to come. The believers in Christ have hope in the living God. To some, their God is their belly. They eat to their belly is full and it is ever increasing. To others, their physic rules. They will do anything to look good. And of course, there are many more avenues in life that people choose other than to refuse themselves of personal pleasure.
K and A, our hope is in God, not in ourselves nor in the pleasures of this world. All these will be burned up in the end and nothing will be left. Eternal suffering is the destiny of those who do not seek godliness, then where is their hope. It all comes to nothing. Holiness is worth it! Live for the long term not for the now. Live your life for Christ and follow his commands and reap the joy that comes from believing in him.
