Better the world

On the a building at my school there is a quote from Alan Shawn Feinstein
“To better one life is to better the world”
That is excellent quote, so long as we remember that to better one life solely for the purpose of this world may not actually be bettering that life. We must better lives for eternity; not just for a life time. For if we our just helping to better lives for life, then it only results in a lifetime of betterment for the person and not an eternity of betterment. So what is the point really? If that is all that happens it would go like this, you better a person’s life than they better someone else’s life or even a couple of people’s lives, then he dies, then those people better some more people’s lives, then they die, and so on and so forth. Now that is all good and well you would have better the plant, except what happens in the end? Everyone dies right, we all know it will happen eventually the world will come to an end. So then everyone dies, and we have better some lives for what so that they could live better than just die and that is it end of story. So whats the point really, if that is all there is, cause everyone just ends up dead in the end.
Why not, better lives with the gospel of Jesus Christ so they can live better, then live forever. Now that is really bettering lives, and it will have everlasting consequences in the end, and will not just end with everyone dead!
