The reality of our existence is that we have a finite time in our physical bodies, during which we are offered the opportunity to secure our relationship with our Creator. This juncture, this “life” as we conceive of it, is a mere wisp of the entirety of our existence. The critical nature of this period of our lives cannot be understated or misunderstood. We are all moving, moment by precious moment, toward the end of our physical lives and, just as certainly, toward the absolute of our eternal lives. Because our physical lives are so brief, they are valuable. Because the decisions we make in our lives have eternal ramifications, we cannot afford to progress in willful ignorance.
