“We are not waiting for the end of a “gospel age” in which our world is replaced by a shiny new planet. Instead, we live here and now in the kingdom of God in Christ knowing that all things work together for good to them who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose and predestined to be conformed to the image of Christ (Romans 8:28-29). This gives us the mandate and the courage to preach the gospel of Christ, and its mind-renewing and society-transforming message, and to do so into the “world without end” (Ephesians 3:21; Hebrews 13:20; Revelation 14:6).”

“Yes, there is no denying that life can be cruel at times. But the Bible teaches that joy is a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). Whatever our carnal trials may be on this earth, God’s promises in Jesus have been fulfilled. We transcend our problems in the appreciation that we are part of God’s everlasting kingdom now.”

“Eternal life is not something just in the future. Christians possess eternal life at the moment of our God-given faith, when our trust is placed in Jesus (John 6:47; 11:25, 26; Romans 4:5). While we do not know exactly what heaven is like, we are comforted in knowing that the believer has salvation now. This knowledge sets us free not only to appreciate being part of God’s eternal kingdom, but also to enjoy more fully our time on this magnificent planet. Our life here is not something to be seen as an ugly stop in God’s plan for us.”
