I don't want to be guilty of thinking that salvation is about the "afterlife"--it is now! Love these lyrics from Switchfoot's song "Afterlife." Eternity is now.
I've tasted fire I'm ready to come alive
I can't just shut it up and fake that I'm alright
I'm ready now
I'm not waiting for the afterlife
Let it burn, the way the sunlight burns my skin
The way I feel inside, the way the day begins
I'm ready now
I'm not waiting for the other side
I'm ready now, I'm ready now
Everyday
The world is made
A chance to change
But I feel the same
And I wonder
Why would I wait till I die to come alive?
I've ready now
I'm not waiting for the afterlife...
