One
day God will bring His rescue plan to completion , finally purging all
sinfulness and evil from everything He created. Then His kingdom and
rule will be restored and all creation renewed. Each human will be
raised from the dead and held accountable before God for their sin. Our
eternal destiny will be determined by how in life we responded to God’s
gracious rescue plan - His offer/gift of salvation through Jesus. Those
who in life rejected God’s offer will reap the fruit of their choice.
They will be separated from God; forever in a place of eternal suffering
and punishment often referred to as hell. Those who in life accepted God’s
offer will receive new resurrection bodies and be forever in His
glorious presence inhabiting a renewed and restored creation.
