We focus on eternal life.

We do not focus on our lives, which are like a mist

that appears for a little while and then vanishes.

The reason is that we are focused on the eternal life

promised to us directly by Christ (1 John 2:25),

the eternal life given to us by God through faith in Jesus Christ (John 3:16).

Therefore, like the Apostle Paul, we can also confess in faith,

"If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord.

So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord" (Romans 14:8).
