Q:
To what extent will it take us to get to paradise, once amazing? Will it resemble space travel is today, taking perhaps a huge number of years to arrive?
A:
No, our excursion from earth to paradise won't resemble present day space travel, taking maybe a huge number of years for us to arrive! Try not to let this worry you; when we bite the dust we won't be bound any more drawn out by the physical impediments we encounter now.
Rather, the Bible discloses to us that in the event that we know Christ, we will be in God's quality promptly after we bite the dust. How is this conceivable? When we pass on, we go into an unheard of level of presence — a presence administered by profound tenets. Subsequent to reviewing every one of the trials and issues we involvement in this life, Paul announced, "We are sure, I say, and would like to be far from the body and at home with the Lord" (2 Corinthians 5:8).
Always remember: You and I were not implied for this world alone. We were intended to live always — and we will, since death isn't the end. Demise rather resembles an entryway, introducing into time everlasting either with God in paradise, or without God and without trust in that place of total misery the Bible calls hellfire. Not single word in the Bible about paradise should make you not have any desire to go there — and not single word about hellfire in the Bible should influence you to need to go there.
Is paradise your expectation? Do you know for beyond any doubt that if you somehow managed to pass on today around evening time, you would be securely in God's essence until the end of time? You can make certain, by trusting Christ and what He improved the situation you by His demise and restoration. Put your confidence and trust in Him today.
