Petrus verduidelik in 1 Petrus 1 dat gelowiges se lewe, ongeag daarvan dat ons soms swaar kry en deur beproewing gaan, gerig word en ons met hoop uitsien na die onverganklike en onbesmette erfenis wat in die hemel vir ons bewaar word. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daarom sy oproep in vers 13: “Wees daarom verstandelik wakker en nugter, en vestig julle hoop volkome op die genade wat julle deel sal word by die wederkoms van Jesus Christus.” \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die Amerikaanse sosioloog Tony Campolo<\/a> vertel dat hulle aan ‘n groep bejaardes, ouer as 90 jaar, gevra het: “Wat sal jy anders doen, as jy jou lewe weer kan leef?” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drie antwoorde het veral voorgekom. Die eerste: “Ons sal meer waag”. Die tweede: “Ons sal meer nadink oor waarmee ons besig is”. Die derde: “Ons sal meer tyd bestee aan dit wat blywende waarde het… dit wat n\u00e1 ons dood nog steeds waarde sal h\u00ea”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die perspektief laat jou nuut dink oor waarmee jy besig is. Dit relativeer sommige dinge en verhoog die waarde van ander. Dit plaas jou prioriteite op die tafel: Wat is regtig vir jou belangrik? Wat het koninkrykswaarde… ewigheidswaarde?\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miskien is die volgende gepas: Maak ‘n lysie van die belangrikste waarmee jy tans besig is en die meeste tyd in beslag neem. Vra jouself eerlik af: Wat is die gerigtheid van my lewe? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ons moedig gereeld jongmense aan om van vroeg te spaar en die regte beleggings te maak sodat hulle nie op hul ou dag moet sukkel nie. Hoe lyk ons “geestelike” beleggings?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Petrus s\u00ea daar is een belegging wat ons kan maak: Vestig jul hoop volkome op die genade wat jul deel sal word by die wederkoms van Jesus Christus. Dit vra waagmoed, dis nie iets waarvoor ek en jy kan werk nie. Dis om God opnuut te glo en vertrou, dat Hy ons toekoms veilig in Sy hande hou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has a long-standing history of serving the community with news and information pertinent to the region. The newspaper, distributed in the capital and more than 20 towns, is also read online in other parts of the vast province, and has been an important source of information for residents of the Northern Cape. The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province. Like the other regional newspapers in South Africa, NoordkaapBulletin has had to adapt to changing media landscapes, including the rise of digital news platforms. However, it remains a significant part of the media landscape in the Northern Cape, helping to keep communities informed and connected.","email":"noordkaapbulletin@novusmedia.co.za","telephone":"+27514047600","legalName":"Novus Media (Pty) Ltd","foundingDate":"2025-01-01","vatID":"4100318916","taxID":"2000\/018234\/07","numberOfEmployees":{"@type":"QuantitativeValue","minValue":"51","maxValue":"200"}},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/#\/schema\/person\/e08d7630612634c4a5ced5db09b6608f","name":"Noordkaap Bulletin","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-ZA","@id":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/a99daa5b340dd77d269e8375259ff19cc6329797ffcecb12b900fcfff3ce0bea?s=96&d=mm&r=g","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/a99daa5b340dd77d269e8375259ff19cc6329797ffcecb12b900fcfff3ce0bea?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/a99daa5b340dd77d269e8375259ff19cc6329797ffcecb12b900fcfff3ce0bea?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"Noordkaap Bulletin"},"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/author\/noordkaapbulletin\/"}]}},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Lewende-Water-Copy.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":300556,"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/jong-ingenieur-28-se-organe-red-lewe-van-vele\/","url_meta":{"origin":269903,"position":0},"title":"Jong ingenieur (28) van Bloemfontein se organe red vele se lewe","author":"Lientjie Mentz","date":"19 May 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"Deon van der Berg (28) wat Saterdag 16 Mei n\u00e1 'n ongeluk in Dan Pienaarrylaan breindood verklaar is, se organe red vele.","rel":"","context":"In "News"","block_context":{"text":"News","link":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/news\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"Deon van der Berg","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Deon-van-der-Berg-e1779193583515.jpeg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Deon-van-der-Berg-e1779193583515.jpeg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Deon-van-der-Berg-e1779193583515.jpeg?resize=525%2C300&ssl=1 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Deon-van-der-Berg-e1779193583515.jpeg?resize=700%2C400&ssl=1 2x"},"classes":[]},{"id":50630,"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/potpourri-leef-of-oorleef-jy-20231019\/","url_meta":{"origin":269903,"position":1},"title":"Potpourri: Leef of oorleef jy?","author":"Noordkaap Bulletin","date":"19 October 2023","format":false,"excerpt":"Ons het onlangs my man se 60ste verjaardag gevier.
