How do you live in this world - filled with wars and chaos - with no hope of redemption or things getting better, and just thing “yep, this is all there is, life is good”. As Christians, we have assurance, certainty and comfort in that Jesus is coming back to judge the world, destroy all the wicked and bring us to eternal life. Atheists don’t have that. Even worse, some even prefer to insult this God. What’s keeping me grounded in this life is the knowledge that God dictates when my life ends- not me.
Just out of curiosity, you mentioned “this world - filled with wars and chaos” and also your hope that things get better: do you do something to work towards things getting better or will this be handled by God?
We should work to make things better- Jesus commanded us. However, this work we do is just a painkiller. It won’t fix things. It won’t fix human nature or sin. Everyday I try and do my part to make life better for those around me. But I know it’s temporary. And that’s okay. We all need temporary joys to cling to until He comes again.
