Product Description
God originally planned for mankind to live on earth, and His plan, though postponed by sin, will not be thwarted - it will come to pass in the future when a new earth is created.
God describes this future earth in hundreds of verses, and Christ spoke of it in his first recorded sermon, so surely it is important that we understand it properly. Christianity requirements to replace the vague ideas about heaven with the concrete and vivid images of the future life that are so abundantly portrayed in Scripture. Only then Christians will become grounded in biblical certainties about the world to come.
Very importantly, The Christian's Hope shows from Scripture that each Christian will be rewarded in the coming world in direct proportion to the quality of how he lives for God in this world. If the believer's vision of the future is clear and certain, he has a much greater possibility of standing like a rock and working faithfully in service to the Lord, despite the pressures and pleasures of this world. Our Hope of a better place is to be the anchors of our souls. The Christian's Hope will become a treasured part of any believer's library, and its contents an important source of comfort, peace, and strength.
Reader ReviewsJohn Schoenheit makes such wonderful information so clear. He always ask those reading his studies to see if it is true or not and not to accept it just on blind faith. I've read a lot of John's works and he is one that loves God's Word and shows how it all fits from beginning to end. Sorry to say, there are many who claim to love God's Word and yet grab verses here and there to make their case and yet don't make sense how those verses fit along others that are contradictory. John brings out God's truth on a Christian's future. You will praise God on what He has in store for us and want to be a part of it now. What we do now determines so much about our future. I highly recommend this book.
