” Eternity “
Webster’s dictionary: without beginning or end, immortality, endless.
The Bible says God is eternal, having no beginning or end, He has always been and will always be.
Genesis 1;26, 27 ,says God created man in His own image and likeness. We are made for Eternity! And eternal being cannot die. Our body dies but we live on in a new and better body.
The idea that we live and die and that is it, is totally wrong! According to the Bible (God’s word), we will live on forever in one of two places. Heaven, God’s eternal paradise or Hell, eternal agony and torment separated from God.
This is very sobering to think about. While we are on this side of death we have a choice as to where we will spend eternity. Once our body dies your eternal course and destiny are set and cannot be changed.
This should not be left to wishful thinking. Hoping we will go to a” better place,” very foolish. The Bible says clearly that we can know for sure that we will spend eternity in Gods paradise called Heaven. Jesus is God’s plan for everlasting life!
Here are some references to look up which are very clear about God’s intent for us to live for eternity, this is how he created us. Matthew 19:6, 19:26 Luke10:25 John 3:15,16,36 John 4:14 Rom 6:23. There are many many more clear references to eternal life throughout the Bible.
Tens of thousands of people have died and gone to heaven and then been revived and come back to life. Their description of seeing Heaven and Jesus and all the amazing realities of Heaven is fascinating. They say heaven is more real than
earth, beyond what our words can describe. John Burke’s best selling book “Imagine Heaven” is an amazing collection of interviews and documentation of actual Heaven experiences. I would highly recommend it. It is thrilling to hear what people
who have actually been there and seen Heaven have to say about it. 1 Cor,2:9 says, “eye has not seen and ear has not heard nor have entered in to the heart of man all that God has prepared for those who love him”. The glory that God has
prepared for us to experience for eternity in Heaven is beyond our words and comprehension. But we can catch a glimpse through the testimonies of those who have been there and come back.
Ask Jesus to help you and He absolutely will. Repent of sin and wrongdoing, Jesus please come into my heart and save me. Change me and empower me to fulfill the purpose and plan you have for my life. He will do it!
He is always pleased and excited to help those who seek Him.
