Many passages in the Scriptures speak to us in a way that makes us understand that even though we are in the world we are not of this world. That is why we must understand that we can not think that eternity is lived when we go to heaven, rather, eternity begins to live from the moment we are in Christ.
Life really is very short, heaven is very high, hell is very deep, and spending an eternity with God determines many things while we are here on earth. This life should only be seen as an rehearsal, worship God, sing praises, these things are simply a rehearsal of what we will do for eternity of eternities, and that is why we should not conform to this world, but renew our thoughts every day through the Word of God.
The apostle Paul wrote:
1 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.
4 When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
Colossians 3:1-4

Since now forward I want to live thinking about things above where is Christ, and I will try to set my mind on things above, not on earthly things alone, because days are shorts and my life is passing…
