Transformed for Life into Heaven

We live in a world that is constantly chasing after security and permanence. People build bigger houses, store away money, and chase achievements as if these things could anchor their lives forever. But the truth is unavoidable—everything in this life is temporary. Rich or poor, strong or weak, famous or forgotten, the same reality eventually comes to every door: death. The real question we must face is not if we will die, but what comes after? This is the question the Apostle Paul addresses in our text this morning, reminding us that for the believer, death is not the end—it is the doorway to resurrection life.
