A person can invest in life.

The only way a person can invest in this life is by following the teaching, instructions and commands of our Lord and Creator, Jesus. Only if individuals would do this, then they would have invested in this life and the life to come.  

When we study the Scriptures and learn these things, we are to do it with all of our ability with the Holy Spirit leading us in all things.  The Apostle Paul tells us “to work at it wholeheartedly as though you were doing it for the Lord and not merely for people.” We know that individuals are living the way that they think that our Lord and Creator, Jesus wants us to live, but we find we are finding from the Scriptures that we are not doing the things the Way of Life the Jesus our Lord instructed us to do them. 

We all say one thing and by our actions are different from what we do.  As the Apostle Paul tells us we are merely human, for we “don't practice what I want to do, but instead do what I hate. Now if I practice what I don't want to do, I am admitting that the Law is good.”  So to invest in life is to follow the commands of the Lord Jesus until we are changed at the twinkling of an eye.  

Then we will be at the Marriage Supper.  Something to look forward to as we invest in this life.

Blessings

Whatever the activity in which you engage, do it with all your ability, because there is no work, no planning, no learning, and no wisdom in the next world where you're going. (Ecc 9:10 ISV) 

Whatever you do, work at it wholeheartedly as though you were doing it for the Lord and not merely for people. (Col 3:23 ISV) 

For we know that the Law is spiritual, but I am merely human, sold as a slave to sin. I don't understand what I am doing. For I don't practice what I want to do, but instead do what I hate. Now if I practice what I don't want to do, I am admitting that the Law is good. (Rom 7:14-16 ISV) 

Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. (1Co 15:51-52 KJV)
