Long Term Investment
Investment: An asset or item that is purchased with the hope that it will generate income or appreciate in the future.
I don’t know much about investments, but I was told that I shall make some investments now if I want to have enough income for my retirement. I have also heard that when it comes to investment I must be patient, and not worry about market fluctuations. The goal is to make earnings in the long term, and patience will allow for any lost to be eventually “recovered”.
People also invest in their careers so they can give their family a better future.
So we could say that investments means sacrifices in the present for a better life in the future. Sounds good, but even if our investments generate good returns it is uncertain if we will be able to enjoy them because no one knows when our time in this earth will be over. So, if we worry about an uncertain future, how much more shall we worry about eternal life?
Everybody will have eternal life, the difference is the destination (“those who have done good will rise to live, and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned.” – John 5:29). That is a good reason to invest in eternal life.
Through Jesus there are no sacrifices required, but we must patiently follow his teachings, and keep our hope in his promises.
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. – Galatians 6:9
Following Jesus will not always be an easy road, but will for certain result in higher returns that any other investment you can make in your life.
I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. – Romans 8:18
If you haven’t already done so I invite you to make the most important investment of your life: Jesus
I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life. – John 5:24
