You Can Live Forever on Earth - YOU CAN LIVE FOREVER ON EARTH

The rebellion in Eden did not thwart God's original purpose for mankind and the earth.  God's perfect love and sense of justice moved him to provide a way to free us from the bondage of inherited sin and death.  The apostle Paul explained:  "The wages sin pays is death, but the gift of God is everlasting life. (Romans 6:23)  Lovingly, God "gave his only-begotten Son [Jesus Christ], so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life."  (John 3:16) By offering himself willingly as a ransom sacrifice, Jesus redeemed all that was lost through Adam. 

Soon, God's promise of an earthly paradise will become a reality.  This wonderful future can be yours if you take to Jesus' admonition:  "Go in through the narrow  gate, because broad is the gate and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are going in through it; whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and a few are finding it."  (Matthew 7:13, 14)  Yes, your future is in your hands.  What will  you do?

Next time: Your Future, Your Choice!
