The bible reminds us, “if in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.” (1 Cor. 15:19) Jesus came to bring life, abundant life - eternal life. The devil seeks to “steal, and to kill, and to destroy.” (cf. John 10:10) The bible says, “God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.”
(1 Thess. 5: 9-10) We are continually faced with death and reminded that we will not live forever in this life. We are also reminded that we are not guaranteed tomorrow. But Jesus came to save and to bring hope! The gospel is “good news!” The bible says, “These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.” ( 1 John 5:13) The Day of the Lord (His return) is coming. He will end time as we know it and usher in eternity. He will bring judgement to those who have rejected Him, and he will bring reward for those who have received Him.
Living in expectation of eternity is The Believers Hope - present and future!
“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” (1 Cor.2:9)
