Afraid of Missing Out

It is easy as young person in the Church of God to fear that you might miss out on some of the joys of life because of events at the time of the end. Generations of youth have asked themselves, will I be able to get married, have children, own a house, etc.

An encouraging thing to remember when these questions arise is the parable of those who were last and received the same as the first. Regardless of how wonderful and pleasant the joys of this life are, they do not compare to the wonderful glory of God's Kingdom.

Through this parable spoken by Jesus, we see that even those who are converted at the time of the end will receive eternal life, just as those who have endured long. Even though they might not experience some of the joys of physical life, they will receive all of the rewards and blessings of eternal life.
