KNOWLEDGE That Leads To Everlasting LIfe

KNOWLEDGE AND YOUR FUTURE

If life in Paradise appeals to you, let nothing hold you back from gaining the knowledge of God.  He loves mankind and will bring about the changes needed to make the earth a paradise.  After all, if you had the power to end the misery and injustice so prevalent in the world, would you not do so?  Would we expect God to do less?  Actually, the Bible speaks in vivid terms of a time when God will remove the strife-ridden system and replace it with a perfect, righteous rule.  (Daniel 2:44) But the Bible does much more than tell us about all of this.  It shows us how we can survive into God's promised new world. -2 Peter 3:13; 1 John 2:17.

The knowledge of God can also do much for you right now.  Life's deepest and most disturbing questions are answered in the Bible.  Accepting its guidance will help you to develop a friendship with God.  What a grand privilege!  And this will enable you to enjoy the peace that God alone can give.  (Romans 15:13, 33)  As you begin to take in this vital knowledge,  you are embarking on the most important  and rewarding endeavor of your life.  You will never regret acquiring the  knowledge of God that leads to everlasting life.

We have referred to the Bible as the book containing  the knowledge of God.  Yet, how do we know that it is, not a book of human wisdom, but something far greater?  We  will consider this question in the next chapter.
