\nBecause heaven is real, we should live every moment for Christ. Life is short; none of us knows how long we have. Live each day as if it were your last\u2014for some day it will be.

You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming” (2 Peter 3:11-12). If you are ever going to live for Christ, it should be now.
