living a normal christian life in which you spend nearly as much money (and time) on yourself and your family as do non-christians on things that aren't absolutely necessary (Sattelite TV, nicer clothes, video games) ............
or do you think it would make u and god happier if you had forgone ALMOST ALL unneccesary material goods in this life so that all that money (and time) you would have saved on that could be used to please god, by either helping your fellowman (poverty, sickness) or perhaps all that extra saved effort could bring maybe 7 or 8 more souls into heaven for eternal, ETERNAL salvation and reward?
Obviously the bible does't say you HAVE to live like that in order to receive god's good grace, but if the duration of our lives on this earth is just an barely just a "nanosecond" when compared to the infinite reward we will have, being in gods immacculate prescence for eternity, shouldn't we be compelled to sacrifice whatever we can?
