What should older Christians focus on during their later years?
Answered in 1 source
Older Christians should focus on prayer, scripture reading, and preparing for eternity, reflecting their readiness to meet God (Philippians 3:20-21).
As individuals enter their later years, older Christians are advised to prioritize spiritual disciplines such as prayer and the reading of God's Word. These practices not only strengthen their faith but also prepare them for the eventuality of leaving this world. The Reformed tradition emphasizes being ready to meet God, and setting loose from earthly attachments enables believers to view their time on earth as temporary. Living with this perspective allows older Christians to offer wisdom and example to those still navigating life’s journey, ultimately directing hearts toward eternal realities.
