For some, the question, “Does what I accomplish in my life matter?”, nags daily at our consciences. A common misconception of Christians is that eternity is purely spiritual, free from the pains of our lives because our body no longer exists. However popular, this is not the picture portrayed by any of the writers of the New Testament. In our future state, we will experience the fullness of God with resurrected bodies in a redeemed creation, which is the basis Paul gives for continued faithful work in the kingdom of God right today.
