What Is Your Answer?
A recent Bible class I attended prompted this post. There was some discussion about what kind of understanding – if any – Job might have had about his (or our) existence after death.
As I listened to that discussion, I thought about a subject for what might be the shortest post I will ever produce. I hope that you will not mistake being brief for being inconsequential or unimportant. I think that what I started thinking in that class and have been thinking a lot about since then is neither of those two things.
Since my first career was that of a school teacher, I will go back to those days and submit this as a sort of “essay question.” I’m not sure how long your answer would be. I’m also not sure what your answer will be. I am fairly certain, though, that it could – and should – provoke some serious thought.
Here you go. Here is your “test.”
If you really believed that there was no such things as life after death, reward and punishment, heaven and hell, judgment, etc., would you choose to honor, obey, and serve God?
Please be prepared to defend your answer.
