Why not live in the "after-life?"

It is during this time that we make the choice to accept and love God or reject him. We will live in the after life and the choice we make now will decide what that life will be like.

The quality of life lived on earth affects the quality of life in the after life. If you reject Christ while here on earth, you will spend all eternity separated from Him. By the same token, those who place their trust in Christ as their Savior are made new in Him and are given eternal life with Him. We then spend the rest of our earthly days, loving and serving Him which we will continue to do in heaven.
Ah, but the one important thing that we cannot do in heaven that we can only do here is share God's love with those who do not know Him by loving and serving them.

You can get a good head start on everlasting life in this life if you learn to obey God's will. Also, you might be able to save someone else's life if you do God's will now and teach others about him and his kingdom under the rulership of Christ Jesus. AND if you don't, there just may not be an after-life for you.

Simply drop the idea of an after life or reincarnation. There is no substantial evidence for them. The question then becomes - how do i live this life to the fullest.
If we are indeed, made in gods image and he is loving then we will life life loving.
If we are humans - evolved to be social animals then we will also be loving.
This life is not a rehearsal it is the real thing!

How do you know you won't be reborn again on either this or some other planet as something else? The point is not the issue, it is what you do with your 'life' that counts.

Its the choices you make on earth...that will determine where you spend eternity..
Joshua 24:15
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

well, we are to tell others about the "after-life" what good is the "after-life" if no one is there to share it with you?

If you think about it, we are in eternity right now. Nothing to wait for, no where to go. Sit. Breathe. Smile.
