       If we know this feeling then, why do so many people spend their lives following after it—following Christianity in a way that is uncomfortable and even dreadful? One might say, “It is the next life that matters. I am storing up rewards for myself there.” As I have just established, good performance doesn’t come from going through the motions. And if going through the motions isn’t what God wants, then how is it that many rewards will be benefited from doing what God doesn’t want? Do you see? So, is it true that life doesn’t really matter, and that it’s the next life that matters? I think your focus is on the wrong thing. All things in this life have to be eventually surrendered. Even my body has to be surrendered. You see, on the news, when there is a scary event taking place, that all the people run to try to get away from whatever it is. Why do they do that? Why do the people run for safety? They run because, within them, is the belief that one has to keep their body safe in order to live life. So, the body is needed for living. Is that true, though?
