I think we as humans have an overwhelming tendency to live shallow lives, never giving thought to the “bigger picture” or things of an eternal nature. We live day-to-day, too busy or preoccupied to take a moment and really assess our purpose in life, and how that reflects on things like our mortality. Those that ignore the deeper spiritual elements of life may feel like they’re living free of burden, but they’re also living free of necessary sacrifices that we need to make in our lives in order to truly see God’s will. The sacrifices that we make as Christians are not seen as oppression, but as a means to a more fruitful, purposeful life.
"But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand." - Matthew 7:26
