Forever
one wisdom perspective from God’s Word and looked at life from that perspective — the perspective of eternity. The story of the Bible doesn’t end with this world that we are all living in right now. What would seem like the last chap- ter, death, really isn’t the last chapter in God’s story. The Bible welcomes and requires you to face the inescapable reality of life after death. This present life is not all there is. There is a forever on the other side of this life. Eternity is not a mystical creation of overly spiritual people. Forever is a reality. It is the product of God’s plan and design. And once you believe in forever and live with forever in view, not only will you understand things you have never understood before, but you will live in a radically different way than you did before. So I invite you to step off the treadmill of your busy life and consider what life looks like when viewed through the lens of for- ever. What if this present life is not a destination but a preparation for a final destination? What if you and I have forever hardwired inside of us? What if this life really does have consequences in the next? What if human beings were created to live forever? What if you can’t make sense out of life without eternity? Then what?
