What does the Bible say about the temporal nature of life?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that life and all its seasons are temporary, emphasizing the idea that everything is but for a little while (2 Corinthians 4:17).

In the Bible, the temporality of human existence is underscored repeatedly, reminding us that our current struggles and stages of life are only for a little while. Jesus himself affirms in John 16:16-33 that pain and heartache will last only a short time for His disciples. This concept is further elaborated by the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 4:17, where he refers to our afflictions as light and momentary compared to the eternal glory that awaits us. Such teachings encourage believers to maintain a heavenly perspective, recognizing that even our trials are working for us a greater purpose beyond the fleeting nature of this life.
