Let us look at our life as a whole.
Let us get a bird’s – eye view of our whole life. Because I believe that it is essential that we must view our life from the end in order to understand it.
I think the bird’s – eye view is described in the Bible, in the book called Ecclesiastes 7:1-2. There we read “and the day of death better than the day of birth,” and “for death is the destiny of every man.” It says there also, “the living should take this to heart.”
According to the Collins Concise Dictionary taking things to heart means to take things seriously. Let us therefore take seriously that “death is the destiny of all man.”
There are four enemies from whom we must be liberated. Death is one of them. The others are sin, Satan and the law.
God through the Lord Jesus Christ has freed His people from all four.
The sooner in life we are freed from from those four enemies, the better it is for us and the sooner we get a bird’s – eye view of our life, and our whole life takes a completely different direction.
I am speaking there from my own experience. I was still in my teens when the Lord Jesus Christ found me and when I began to look at my life as a whole.
