When you believe that there is eternity it changes your perspective on some things. If you choose to believe in Jesus and follow him, then you become thankful for eternity. We see glimpses of fulfillment in God's promises here and now, but eternity is a long time.
What God has in stored for His children is wonderful. We have some expectations, but the reality will be so much better. Faith is everlasting. It sustains, encourages, enriches, and strengthens you. No matter what you face for your faith it doesn't matter. Eternity in Heaven with God is the prize. The end of the race is at the entrance of Heaven's gates.
The Holy Spirit living in you is profession of life. He works in your heart and gets you ready for eternity. He is your eternal gift while you are alive. Jesus sacrificed was paid at a high price, so you can have salvation and spend eternity with him. This reality that Heaven is your eternal home changes the mind and heart.
The other side to reality about eternity is that if you don't go to Heaven, then you are going somewhere. To choose not to follow Jesus faithfully means that your eternal home will not be in glorious peace with God. It means that you chose to spend eternity in torment. It may be hard to grasp, but there are no do overs or second chances when it comes to eternity.
