Description
What will eternity be like?
You are an eternal being created by God to enjoy Him and the rest of His creation forever. God doesn't want you guessing what your eternal future will be like; He has recorded the important details about eternity in the Bible so that you can make informed decisions in this life that will benefit you forever.
From beginning to end, the Bible tells one unfolding story of God's eternal plans for people and the earth. Paradise explores this biblical storyline, answering questions such as:
· Why is there so much suffering and brokenness in the world, and what is God's plan to fix it?
· Will God destroy the earth or restore it?
· What is the Kingdom of God?
· How can I know that I have eternal life?
· If Christians have eternal life, why do they still die like everyone else?
· What will eternal living actually be like for the redeemed?
· What will eternal punishment be like for the wicked?
This is Book #1 in The End-Times for Beginners series, a series of short books designed to give the reader a basic understanding of what the Bible says concerning the return of Jesus, the events that lead up to His return, and the events that will follow His return.
