A man named Martin Luther once said that "even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree." Which means that even if he knew that tomorrow would be the end of the world he would continue to do what is good. In the life of Luther, one could see how he fought for what was right. That even when the world was against him, even if he did not know what might happen to him, he did not recant to what he believed.
Likewise our future is certain. Our salvation in Christ is certain, that if we die we will go to heaven. But this does not mean that we just have to be passive thinking that I'm already saved so I will do what I want in this world. Yes, we have this confidence that after this life we will be in the presence of our Creator. But then, let us not be passive, just sitting and waiting for the time when we'll breath our last. Instead this assurance must inspire us to continue to do what God has wanted us to do for His glory. Sharing the good news to others and faithfully doing the ministry or ministries that He is and He would be entrusting unto us. However, let us also be reminded that following Christ is not easy. Jesus never promised that following Him would be easy. This assures as that we will experience different challenges, trials, and even persecution. But we must not give up and turn back. Instead let us continue to do good and serve our King with joy.
The life of Martin Luther has inspired me to always do what is right no matter what, for Christ. Stand for what is right as long as you're not against with the teaching of the Scripture. Let us continue to do good in in spite of!
