I don't understand it either. Everything we spend our lives on building in this world goes to waste. All we have will burn. Why bother? I would MUCH rather be in Heaven working on eternal things.

Will be swallowed up in victory!

1 Corinthians 15:54-57

New King James Version

54 So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”

55 “O Death, where is your sting?
O Hades, where is your victory?”
56 The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Well,  the things we do on earth can have eternal implications. Sharing the gospel,  loving our neighbour,  good works done through the guidance of the Holy Spirit.  All these things earn us crowns that we can cast at the feet of Jesus.  :dieu:

Eternal life begins the moment we believe.  Smile

I personally feel my work here has ended.  I’m not getting the opportunities to share one on one the Good News.  Ever since the virus outbreak people are cold and standoffish.  The only people that are still friendly are the store workers - they will at least still say hello with a smile.  But the average Joe Schome, NO ... so, I’m just left with praying for people.  I’m just anxious now to move on to higher living in the heavenly.  :whistle:

You can still pray for lost souls.  God will answer those prayers and there will be rejoicing in heaven. You are making a difference and those prayers have eternal implications. Smile
When we are heaven,  you won't have the opportunity to do that.
