“The first man Adam became a living being”; (alive because of God) the last Adam (Jesus Christ, the Messiah) became a life-giving spirit.” 1 Corinthians 15:45. (New English Version- with my own insights added.) As this thought occurred to me much earlier today; I have had some time to consider all its ramifications. Perhaps, my using the phrase “Eternal Time” (rightly “Infinity”, as there would be NO TIME.) is not new in some peoples thinking. Yet, just what would thinking and living along this proposition mean for anyone? Let us imagine. 1. If we truly were “living eternally now”; then we wouldn’t need to be anxious, fearful, fretful, or worried about the outcome of anything! Such a life would completely trust in God to make a way towards all working out well. 2. If we were living eternally now; then all of our intentions and purposes would be in line with just what was truly essential and important now. We would not think about yesterdays woes or tomorrows imagined evils. 3. If we were living eternally now; then all of our heartaches, trials, pains, and sorrows of Life would most certainly diminish until we lived in a ‘ocean of peace’ and tranquil serenity that could never be shaken despite all conditions and circumstances. 4. If we were living eternally now; then all of what others think or say of us would not affect who we truly are. Our Life and Salvation would rest secure in God. 5. If we were living eternally now; then there would never be a sleepless night or a boring day! All would have such and underlying ‘JOY’ that we would find ‘even the least thing’ interesting. 6. If we were living eternally now; then God Alone would be our constant companion to direct and guide our thoughts and feelings. We would never be completely without insight about what to do, or where to go. And 7. If we were living eternally now; then such would be such an “Abundant Life” that we would never lack anything or anyone to make us truly happy. All the needs of our lives would be met! Hallelujah! THIS IS THE GOSPEL! THE “GOOD NEWS” FROM JESUS CHRIST, GOD INCARNATE, TO YOU! I am living eternally now! How about you?
Very nice thank you. I will put a sticky when I go online from the laptop later.

AMEN! My Sister you got it! Yes, that is exactly what I was trying to say. I praise the Lord, definitely it is, even as what Jesus spoke to Peter, “Man has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.” Timothy
