The world and its desires are passing away, but the one who does the will of God lives forever.Our destiny and future are not limited to the boundaries of our temporary existence as mortal passengers on our "tiny blue planet." Our future and our hope burst the boundaries of mortality and are tied to our faith in our resurrected and victorious Savior, who is coming back to bring us to his eternal home. This faith is displayed by doing God's will even when most people in our contemporary culture choose to chase what is fleeting and transient. Why? Because we await a better world, a new heaven and earth where life is free of earthbound limitations and human frailties and sin (Galatians 5:5; Philippians 3:20-21; Hebrews 11:14-16; 2 Peter 3:13).
