How do we know that spiritual life in Christ is more precious than physical life?
Answered in 1 source
Spiritual life in Christ is infinitely more valuable than physical life, as it aligns us with God's eternal purpose and glory.
The text presents a powerful contrast between the value of physical life and the spiritual life offered through Christ. The preacher emphasizes that while we often treasure our earthly existence, spiritual freedom in Christ is of far greater significance. As Paul communicates in Romans 8:38-39, nothing can separate us from the love of God, indicating the eternality and permanence of our spiritual life. The sacrifice of Christ, His blood shed for our redemption, elevates our spiritual life to an immeasurable worth that surpasses any temporal concern. The struggle and afflictions we face in this life pale in comparison to the glory awaiting us, making our earthly sufferings seem light and momentary when viewed against the backdrop of eternal life with Him.
