The only thing that survives eternity is what is done for Christ.
Common Sense Commentary: It is an eternal fact since God is real and His word is true, that nothing means anything ... unless God is in it. Every thought, word, and action are "dead works" if God is not in some way, large or small, honored by it. That is why Satan and his minions are constantly confusing the masses of human beings with lies, distractions, misinformation and influencing them away from God and truth. Satan has many well-regarded, worldly, and famous snake oil dealers.... the presstitutes, the banksters, the Demopublicans and notable sociopaths in positions of power and influence.
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God; and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world." 1 John 4:3.
With all of that working against us, time and the fulfillment of prophecy will bring us all face to face with God, His judgment, and truth that "nothing means anything without God in it". On that future day, when, as the Lord said, "...every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God" ( Isa.45:23 & Rom.14:11) the entire human race will confess that "...Christ is all and in all" (Col.3:11), but that confession, at the foot of God's Great White Throne judgment, will be too late for the faithless. "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is...." Heb.11:6. An unbeliever will believe in what he can see with his own eyes. That requires no faith. What is seen is not faith.
"...Faith is .... the evidence of things not seen." Heb.1:11.
Faith which takes no action is not true faith but dead faith. Faith means nothing without good works. "But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?" Jm.2:17-26.
Religion means nothing without Christ.
Reputation means nothing without Character.
Wealth means nothing without generosity.
Health means nothing without holiness.
Freedom means nothing without holy purpose.
Sex means nothing without sincere commitment.
Rest means nothing without labor.
Life means nothing without eternal life.
You mean nothing without God's creation and love.
Everything means nothing to you, here or in eternity if you do not open your heart and life to God and His will by repentance, belief, and acceptance of Christ as your Savior. That, in fact, and in truth, means everything. RB
