Only ETERNAL LIFE!
According to the Written Word of
God, the Bible, the only thing God promised His children was eternal life.
God did not promise the Christian
wealth or fame or continued good health (knowing that many Christians have died
due of various illnesses) or our BEST LIFE NOW. The only thing we’ve been
promised is eternal life. To a Christian, the good life comes later, in the
kingdom, which will be ushered in by the Parousia, the Second Coming of the
Lord Jesus, after the Period of Tribulation, when God will “wipe every tear
from their eyes. And there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain”
(Rev.21:4)
But until the moment the Lord
Jesus returns to earth, there will be tears and death and mourning and crying
and pain in the lives of both the believer and the unbeliever.

their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the
old order of things has passed away.”

They preached the gospel in that city and won a large number of disciples. Then
they returned to Lystra, Iconium and Antioch, strengthening the disciples and
encouraging them to remain true to the faith. “We must go through many
hardships to enter the kingdom of God,” they said.
