Living in God's Glory

WHEN DEATH WILL EXPOSE EVERYTHING AS FALSE if only man were to remember death, the things that make him cruel and unjust would become meaningless; he would realize that such actions would lead him towards hell. For example, man cannot use the wealth he holds so dearly before death comes and severs him from his earnings for all time. if man were to remember this fact, he would not be so obsessed with self-enrichment in this world. likewise, people plot the destruction of others, but death comes between them and their enemies before they can carry out their plots. if one constantly keeps this fact in mind, one will never seek to harm others; one will never plot the downfall of another. no one is ready to buy a house to be demolished the next day. no one inhabits a city about to be devastated by an earthquake. however, everyone makes the much more serious mistake of ignoring the most severe earthquake which will strike us—death. WHEN DEATH WILL EXPOSE EVERYTHING AS FALSE On the Day of Judgment, only those people will be safe who have taken refuge in the edifice of God. it will be a strange moment when people realize that whatever they did in this world, thinking it to be some worthy action, is the inaction of the lowest sort!
