Temporary vs. Eternal

The temporary benefits of pursuing health are overshadowed by the true fulfillment that comes through pursuing God and His purpose for your life.

And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.
‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death' or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

Revelation 21:3-4
This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.
Proverbs 3:8

An idol is a good thing that becomes the ultimate thing.

Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales; rather, train yourself to be godly. For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. This is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance.
I Timothy 4:7-9

Bottom Line

The temporary benefits of pursuing health are overshadowed by the true fulfillment that comes through pursuing God and His purpose for your life.
