This is something that we all must strive towards. We are all sinners that have been given a chance at second life.
We are alive because of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Thanks be to God.
What does it mean to be alive? When have you felt the most alive?
Studies have shown that the older that we get, the generally more happy that we get. Is that not the opposite of what you would expect?
Wisdom does come with age, at least in most cases, and older people generally feel more content with their proximity to the end of their life.
Older generations also tend to be more religious and more devout than their younger counterparts. Do you see a correlation?
Everything that we have we have from God. He created heaven, earth, and us. He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to earth to breathe beside us, teach us, and eventually die so that we may be forgiven.
We must honor this sacrifice, for we are only alive because of it. We have been offered a chance at salvation, at resurrection, and have all witnessed the life of Jesus that proves this covenant to be true.
Christ was dead unto sin and it should be all of our aims as well.
