1 | Eternal life promised by God? | Titus 1:2 | Lexus | 217668 | ||
There is a written promise in the Bible at Psalms 37:9-11 and also Revelation 21:3,4 of God's promise to restore earth to Paradise. His original purpose was for man to live forever. He did not create Adam and Eve for a temporary stay -they did not heed God's command and therefore mankind inherit sin and die (Genesis 2:16) His plan has always been for us to have "eternal life." | ||||||
2 | Eternal life promised by God? | Titus 1:2 | dwilliamson | 217673 | ||
Thank you Lexus That's an interesting point in relation to the Garden of Eden/Paradise. I would agree that God's original intention will always have it's fulfilment. Someone has said "God's first thought is His final thought!" While Satan appears to have gained a victory by the entrance of sin, God will see to it that every vestige of sin is removed from His creation. (See Romans 8v19-21 "For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.") This balance of things in Gods purpose is interesting - See eg. 1 Corinthians 15v21-22 "For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive." I hadn't perhaps related that to the immediate context because the promise of eternal life spoken of here was "BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN" (KJV). I think the answer has been given to my mind by Searcher in a previous post - I will think about what has been said on this forum but! Thank you brother In Him David |
