The physical cosmos has been around for billions of years. Yet the Bible says its remaining days are short. The remaining lifespan of each individual human today is even shorter. But the physical lifespan of each "saint" terminates at the return of Jesus Christ which may be a lot closer than people expect. Time is very short, so what manner of person ought you to be?
