1 Corinthians 7:29 KJV
But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;
The overriding principle in the chapter is right here through verse thirty one.
The time is short.
Whatever happens in this life is only a moment in relationship with eternity and eternity is coming more quickly than we imagine. That fact should influence
• Every thought
• Every deed
• Every action
Whether we speak of home life, work life or civil life the spiritual life ought to be the lead consideration. Our faith should never be the addition to life, but needs to be the central theme upon which all other aspects of life revolve.
How the flesh rebels against this. Christ has not come. It feels likely that He will not come in our lifetime so it reasons that our lifetime is the premium. The opposite is the case. A long life here is merely more time to prepare for the life of eternity.
Faith demands we keep focused on the coming of the Saviour.
For the time is short.
