Time is short. Eternity is long. It is only reasonable that this short life be lived in the light of eternity.

If we do wrong and no harm comes of it, we are not thereby justified. If we did evil and good came of it, the evil would be just as evil. It is not the result of the action, but the action itself which God weighs.
