When my time is up...

"When our time comes" is a strange saying when speaking of death. Shouldn't it be "when my time is up".



I have been wondering why the good news has been presented as something that we need to reconcile with before "our time comes". This is also know as fire insurance or get out of hell free card.

I have been reminded lately through scripture and my own life that the good news is given to us before "our time is up". Meaning I need to live a good news life today.

The good news life that I speak of is three fold.

That I can...

...be freed from my own sin, the sins of this world and the judgment we all deserve.
...live an eternal (life to the full) life.
...live my most heroic life today.

Through Christ, God has made a way for us to join in his story to reconcile, redeem, and restore all things to him.

Live your life until your time is up! The eternal will remain.
