A lot of people have come to love this world and take pleasure in the things of this world. They live their lives oblivious of death or eternity. Their love for the world has blinded them to the reality of another life after death. They live in ignorance that they are temporary residents of the Earth sent here for a purpose. They live just for the present and are not concerned about what the future holds. They seem not to be aware that this world is temporary and therefore all their desires are also transient and fleeting. Because their hope is in this world, they are indifferent to the message of salvation.
Anyone who believes in the Lord Jesus and is saved has eternal life (John 3:16). This eternal life – the life of God - is experienced by the believer here on earth and guarantees him life after the passing of this world. The saved believer being a part of God's family has a natural inclination to do God's will out of love for and fear of Him. Obeying God's commands and doing good works without being saved does not guarantee that one will abide with Him forever. Having observed all the things in the world and realizing they are all vanity, the Preacher concluded in Ecclesiastes 12:13 that everyone who wishes to live forever must fear God and keep his commandments.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the grace to dwell with You forever. Thank You for the gift of salvation and faith in Your Son Jesus that offers us the opportunity to live in eternity. Lord, help us to see that everything in this world is vain. Let us put our trust and hope in You alone. Quench our insatiable appetite for the things of this world. Open our eyes of understanding to the knowledge of Your saving grace. Don't let us be lost in the world, but rather let our hearts be open to receiving Your word of salvation and be indifferent to the call of Your Spirit. 
Let us reign with You in eternity in Jesus’ name. Amen.
