I don't want to conform the ways of the world, but the fact is that I sometimes do. I used to wonder if I would ever get to the point where I agreed with people who embraced the view that Christians were foreigners in this life and should look forward to realizing our citizenship in God's presence. I guess as I have gotten a little older, or I believe more accurately, as the Holy Spirit has worked in my life to make me more mature, I have begun to long for the yet unrealized presence of God unhindered by the sinful flesh and sinful world I inhabit.
The Bible is the truth and faith in Jesus Christ is the only way to inherit everlasting life in God's presence, which will be far better than we could ever imagine.
