Those who do believe in eternity aim to reach it by going through their life with love and trust in Jesus, will achieve eternity.  Since death is inevitable, people may achieve eternity upon death, but what of those who die young?  It seems they have the easier way out.  They are able to reach eternity sooner than others that live longer.

The point to ponder in this chapter is that “It’s not about me.” The chapter answers this question and asserts that it is about God.  Since I don’t believe in God, I can’t really say that I am living for God.
