In the last few days, I have felt compelled to write the following word for the young people who received this publication. I ask you to prayerfully reflect on what you will read. If they find truth in what is written, I want to urge you to adapt your life to what you have read Do not ruin your life!
The first man was created in the image of God; if he had submitted to God’s will, he would have been immortal; would pass the years of its existence without endless force in force, without deterioration or decomposition. they have taken him to higher levels of maturity, contentment, and joy. their existence would have overflowed with purpose and glory.
- With the advent of sin everything was lost and the existence of man was tragically distorted and distorted in the face of recognition; man has become a short-lived mortal.
- Fatigue and futility; now lives his life until all his vitality is exhausted.
- All his goals are demolished and the body finally returns to the dust from which he was born.
- It is not without reason that the preacher shouts: “Vanity of vanities!Is it all vanity? (Ecclesiastes 1: 2).
As a child, you must constantly fight the temptation to forget the brevity of life and vanity, even the longest life, lived outside God’s will. You must learn from the Holy Scriptures that your life is less than a steamer. Feel convinced of this truth, and then you must establish it before you as a constant reminder. You’re mortal and your days are numbered!
As for man, his days are like grass, like the flower of the field as well; the wind passes, soon leaves, and your place will no longer be known. ?(Psalm 103: 15, 16; ACF).
“You are like the fog that appears for a moment and then dissipates (James 4:14; NVI).
You know the Bible is true. You know that death is a certainty for you, every tombstone and every elegy attests to the inescapable reality that you will die, and yet how can we forget you and abandon you so quickly to the ephemeral vanities of this life?This is because you are surrounded by a culture that does everything in its power to avoid any thoughts about the end of life, because the god of this century works with all his cunning to entertain and distract you, because even if you have been redeemed he still lives in a carnal and fallen body that collides with all the carnal and temporal. Knowing these things, you would do well to memorize and pray much of David’s prayer in Psalm 39:4:
“Show me, Lord, the end of my life and the number of my days, so that I may know how fragile I am” (NVI).
Maintaining his mortality in the face of his thoughts does not mean being morbid or crying like those who have no hope, but forcing him to wait only for Christ and unreservedly surrender him to his will for his life. It is only in Christ that the tomb is consumed by victory and temporal futility replaced by God’s eternal and glorious plan for you.
