There are only two phases of life that God has given man.The temporal physical life that is for now and the permanent or eternal life that is for the future that is eternal.
God is eternal and wants us to live for eternity not temporal for everything will pass away but eternity will forever remain.
Those who intimately walk and live with Him,will ultimately get into eternity with Him.
You have a choice to decide which side of life you would want to be.
