Suppose news tells you that the world is going to end in one week. Since you learned that your life is here only for one week, what will you do then? Probably, you will live your best spending your money enjoying all the pleasures in one week. Your hope was the world is going to end in one week and your work of faith was living luxury spending all your money.
I am from south India and getting an Engineer job is a matter of life and death. Since IT engineers are paid a high salary, it is the dream of many to get the job. When I was studying engineering studies in the college, I know I need to suffer from studying only for four years and then I would get a job. Many times, I got discouraged to study but my hope of getting an Engineer job helped me to endure the pain of reading books. I hoped to get a well-paid job and my work of faith was to study enduring pain.
I am listing some of the Christian hopes and they are :
We are going to live with God in heaven.
Jesus is coming back.
We will be rewarded for following Jesus faithfully.
We will live in prosperity, healthy, joyfully, righteously in the coming ages.
Jesus has prepared mansions for us.
We will rule as kings along with Jesus in the Millennium Age.
We know we have a life after this age and this is our hope. Our work of faith is to endure the pain and do the will of God. But, those who chose to live a luxurious life seeking their pleasures alone what would be their hope? Their life in Hell. Some don’t believe in Hell or Heaven, then it is implied that they believe they have a life here only for a few years and they end up in Hell.
We have hope because we believed the words of Jesus and we walk in faith according to the hope. But, recent Bible preachers teach faith as a tool for luxury life here and it is because they are full of hope in life in Hell.
