Romans 14:7–9 ESV

7 For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. 8 For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord.

Ecclesiastes 3:1–11 ESV

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace. What gain has the worker from his toil? I have seen the business that God has given to the children of man to be busy with. He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.

Psalm 90:12 ESV

So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.

Hebrews 9:27 (ESV)

And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment,

3) Repent to Jesus

John 11:25–27 ESV

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?” She said to him, “Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world.”

There is only way to have an eternity of love, fulfillment, and True meaning and purpose.

there is only one way to avoid an eternity of loneliness, misery, and bearing the full torturous weight of our selfishness and arrogance…

Its repenting from our sin, selfishness, and rebellion and repenting to a personal relationship with Jesus..

its more than belief.
