Love lasts forever
1 Corinthians 13:8
Let’s not lose sight of the trio at the end here. Faith/trust is important, but faith will no longer be unseen once Heaven roles around. Hope is important, but will no longer be anticipation when we get to heaven. Love, on the other hand matters now, and will be even more substantial in Heaven. Faith and hope will be realized; love will be perfected. The final thing I want to stress in regards to social media is if we refuse to get along with our brethren now, how shall we expect to do so for eternity? Everything we say or post, whether commentary, arguments, teaching, rebuke, pictures, entertainment, videos, humor, politics – all of it – needs to reflect a recognition and/or desire for an eternal relationship with that person. We expect to be with this person forever, or otherwise have dedicated ourselves to trying to get them there with us. The eternal mindset, when doing anything on Social Media, will effect the tone of our words, the attitude we present, the stances we defend, and even the content we share. Paul ends his letter to the Corinthians by saying in 16:14 “Let ALL that you do be done in love.” Our digital interactions are no exception.
