How do Christians view their lives in the context of eternity?

Answered in 1 source

Christians view their lives as a temporary journey towards eternity, emphasizing heavenly citizenship and the pursuit of God's glory.

From a sovereign grace perspective, Christians understand that their earthly existence is brief and serves a greater purpose in the scope of eternity. As articulated in Hebrews 11:13-16, believers confess their status as strangers and pilgrims on earth, continuously looking forward to a promised eternal city. This perspective shapes their daily conduct, encouraging them to live not for present-day comforts or desires but in a manner that honors God. This parallels Colossians 3:1-2, where believers are instructed to seek things above, highlighting the importance of living with a focus on eternal realities rather than temporal distractions. Such a viewpoint cultivates a deeper reverence for God and a life defined by faith and anticipation of the fulfillment of His promises.
