The second half is riskier because it has to do with living beyond the immediate.

This is the kind of risk for which entrepreneurs earn excellent returns much of the time.

There is a time when every person who encounters Jesus, who believes Jesus is the Son of God, decides that they will spend their life following Him. Some people, like the Apostle Paul, make this decision the minute they meet Him, the minute they become a Christian.

Still others may enjoy some benefits of God's love and grace without entering into the true joy of a marriage with their maker.
