Mark 8:36 - Additional Comments

Christians have solidified the destiny of their souls, yet I don't think we take it to heart what Jesus is saying here. Most of our passion in life is to get and improve on the things of the world, and we spend very little time getting and improving on the things we have with God. When the book is written on our life, what will remain an what will disappear?
