1 John 5:11 And This Is The Testimony: God Has Given Us Eternal Life, And This Life Is In His Son. 12 He Who Has The Son Has Life; He Who Does Not Have The Son Of God Does Not Have Life.

Our life in pain is diminished compared to our life without pain. Our life in pain does not have the hope of our life without pain. Our life in pain does not have the same substance of our life without pain. For those of us in pain, the idea of living forever may not have the same meaning because our suffering diminishes even our view of eternal life. Without Christ, we have no hope. Without Christ, we have a future filled with the torment of outer darkness. Even in our pain, we must keep hold of Christ. Through Christ we will have an eternal life unlike our painful life in the here and now. Through Christ we will have an eternal a pain-free life full of joy, peace, happiness, and incredible fun.
