Our Readers Ask . . . Will Everlasting Life in Paradise Be Boring? -Conclusion

 Consider, too, that Jehovah God will not allow just anyone to live in Paradise. He offers the gift of everlasting life only to those who imitate his Son, Jesus. (John 17:3)  While on earth, Jesus delighted to do his Father's will. He taught his followers both by word and by example that lasting happiness comes more from giving than receiving.  (Acts 20:35)  In the restored Paradise, all will live by the two greatest commandments - those that call for love of God and love of neighbor.  (Matthew 22:36-40) Imagine being surrounded b y unselfish people who love you and who love their work!  Do you think you would become bored in such company? 

Note: In the new Paradise, our minds will be rejuvenated, we will have new bodies, we will perfect, so no, I would not be bored.  This world, now, yes because most of what they have on TV is a bunch of crap! I don't want to even know its on TV, much less watch it! 

What else will life be like in Paradise involve? Each day, we will be able to learn something new about our Creator. Researchers have already made many remarkable discoveries about Jehovah's creative works. (Romans 1:20) So, far, though, we have hardly scratched the surface. Thousands of years ago, the faithful man  Job reviewed what he knew about God's creative works, and his conclusion is still true.  "These are the fringes of [God's] was," Job said," and what a whisper of  a matter has been heard of him! But of his mighty thunder who can show and understanding?" - JOB 26:14.

No matter how long we live, we will never discover all there is to know about Jehovah God and his works. The Bible states that God has put the desire to live forever in our hearts.  But it also says that we will "never find out the work that the true God has made from the start to the finish." (Ecclesiastes 3:10, 11) Do you think you will ever get bored with learning new things about your Creator?

Even now, those who busy doing work that benefits  others and brings glory to God seldom find that they are bored. We can be sure that if we remain busy doing similar work, we will never become bored-even if we live forever.
