 The Life-Is-Short Philosophy Of Life

Isa 22:12 And in that day the Lord GOD of hosts Called for weeping and for mourning, For baldness and for girding with sackcloth.

13 But instead, joy and gladness, Slaying oxen and killing sheep, Eating meat and drinking wine: "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!"

14 Then it was revealed in my hearing by the LORD of hosts, "Surely for this iniquity there will be no atonement for you, Even to your death," says the Lord GOD of hosts.

Instead of mourning over sin, they carried on with their sinful lifestyle and didn't repent. Instead they rejoiced and partied since life is short...so short that they said "tomorrow we die!" These are the types of men who will have no atonement. The atonement will not be applied to them. Terrifying condition to be in.

Life is short but you don't have to make it shorter. Most importantly, since life is short then you should make it count. You would get right with God with the short amount of time you have.

How You View Sin Shapes How You Think Salvation Works

If you downplay sin, you’ll likely believe it can be dealt with through religious rituals, good deeds, or personal effort. But if you see sin for what it truly is—a deep offense against a holy God, a heinous spiritual crime—you’ll realize that only a perfect sacrifice can settle its debt.

If you don't view God as someone who is utterly holy, then sin won't seem all that serious, and the cross won’t seem all that necessary. But when you grasp the blazing purity of God, you begin to understand the weight of sin—and the wonder of Christ's sacrifice.

You would come running to Christ and His work on the cross as your only hope of salvation.

You Can Be The Pope And Still Go To Hell Popeness never saves. Even Peter, the so-called "first pope", needed to trust in Christ for salvation. Being the pope could never pay sin's penalty. There is no other payment for sin. Zero in on Christ's death on the cross. That and that alone. Earth's best without the atonement of Christ would still be exposed to God's judgment. Religion, robes and rituals cannot replace redemption. Hell will not be empty of the respected, the revered, and the religious—it will be filled with those who rejected the righteousness of Another.
Don’t trust in position. Don’t trust in piety. Trust in the Person—Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.
