Life on
Earth Vs. Life in Heaven
God has given each every one of us a body and a soul to live on earth. We may loose our life (the mortal one) here on earth in order to gain the eternal life that lasts longer. Here is a table that differentiates the major differences between these two lives (mortal and immortal).
Life Here
|
Life After
|
Life on earth
is for a short duration (70 or 80 years)
|
Life in heaven
is eternal.
|
Life on earth
is a chance given to determine the life after
|
Life in heaven
is our destiny.
|
Life on earth
can be lost
|
Life in heaven
must be gained by gaining the Soul.
|
Life on earth
must be lived for God (who is in Heaven) and His Kingdom
|
Life in heaven
is with Jesus and the host of heaven.

Jesus said to his disciples the following verses:
"If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me
For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it.
What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?" (Matthew 16:24-26)
