A Very Bright Future

The question of the future and what lies ahead has been a source of worry and concern to every normal human being. In order to find answers to this innate hunch, men seek spiritual guidance from all kinds of self-prophesed spiritualists. Others join cults to feel secure about the future. But where lies the solution?
To the Christian, the word of God gives confidence about what lies ahead in clear terms. What happens to our earthly bodies after we are gone? Is there any heavenly body for us? What would be the end of mortality and who holds the final ace about life after death?
Let's delve into the revelation of this secrets for constant reassurance..
'For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven. If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon that mortality might be swallowed up of life. Now he that hath wrought us for the seflsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. Therefore we are always confident, knowing that , whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent form the Lord. For we walk by faith, not by sight. We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. Wherefore we labor that whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. For we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad'. That is the fact of the matter. The revealed secret about our future.
One thing is very clear here. We'll decide how bright our future will be by getting involved in good work. This guarantees we live with our saviour in eternity after we must have been transformed. Can we find another reason why we must redouble our commitment to Christ?
In the word of a song writer, 'where will you be when the trumpet shall sound, where will you be when it sounds so loud, when it sounds so loud as to wake up the dead, where will you be when it sounds?
