"If you will and will listen to me, you will eat the best of this land." (Isaiah 1:19)
Dear brother, sometimes you may wonder what life in the Kingdom of God will be like. The Word of God says that in the beginning God made man and woman in his image and likeness. He also created the Earth, with all the immensity of life and wealth that it has, for the habitation, exploration and happiness of man, so that he could be an instrument for the glory of God. With man's fall and sin, the world was stricken and stained, life became sad and death entered it. But God, full of love, had a plan to save man by sending His Son to die for our sins. God himself was among us, walking, talking and interacting with people through his Son. Christ's work on the Cross involved the salvation not only of the human race, but also of the world, which had been tainted by sin.
Now you ask, what will the Earth be like when Jesus returns, finishes of defeat the current world domination and starts the Kingdom of God? You will have all the best you have here on Earth today, and incomparably more! You may ask: Will I have my family there? Yes, if you receive the Savior you will have! "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house." (Acts 16:31) And you can also ask: Will I have my friends? Yes, if they really are true people, sincere and willing to fear God. "For everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved." (Romans 10:13). The Lord himself will come, and will reign over the earth, and will be with us forever. "But they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years." (Revelation 20:6). The whole earth will be filled with the glory and unspeakable wonders of God, but you can go further and ask about the common things: Will I have the joys I have here, will there be barbecue, drinks and fine food? The Word of the Lord tells us that "the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit." (Romans 14:17), but that doesn't mean that there won't be all the best of this Earth. On the contrary, you will be in a state of endless joy, before God, and you will have all the best that you can imagine of this Earth and even things incomparably greater and better. See: "Behold, I have my supper prepared, my oxen and fattened meat, and everything ready; come to the wedding." (Matthew 22:4).
Will there have wine? Yes, the Lord himself has declared that he will make a great supper at the inauguration of this Wonderful Kingdom, full of glory, grace and light. "Truly, I say to you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God." (Mark 14:25). Will I have the joy of enjoying a chocolate, a pizza and a tonic soda? No doubt! And don't even imagine the extraordinary taste they will have! There all the saved will exist in a life of power and glory beyond all comprehension, in an existence of immortality, happiness and peace without end. You can also ask: Will there be a car, transport, train, spaceships, entertainment, electricity, television? Don't be less than sure, God is the greatest Master and Architect of Technology there is! Rest assured that there will be machines and inventions as wonderful, of celestial technology as you would never have imagined. Who knows we might even have the privilege of being taken to travel somewhere in the Universe?
In God's dimension you will not miss anything, nothing that is truly good that you have here today. Which do you prefer: Honor God, pay a small price for a life of sanctification and obedience in today's fleeting life, and then have all that you have here and more FOREVER, or despise God's Salvation, enjoying from the passing pleasures of sin and then SUFFER FOREVER, far from He? Cheer up, and rejoice in God, He always gives and will give all the best for you, designing for you a Happiness and an Eternal Life, indestructible, which will last from today and FOREVER!!!
