What the Bible Says about the Afterlife: The Life to Come
Overview
What do you think of when you consider heaven? With all the many misconceptions of heaven, it's easy to become confused. What does the only truly reliable source have to say about this very important topic? Beginning with Genesis and proceeding through both Testaments, Kenny Boles leads us on a journey to glean what the Bible says about heaven and about hell.
Top Highlights
“Since no one will ever die in heaven, neither will any more people be born.” (Page 39)
“Jesus’ point was that God did not say, ‘I was Abraham’s God,’ He said, ‘I am Abraham’s God’—indicating that Abraham was still alive. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob—the patriarchs of the covenant—were even then enjoying the blessing of their relationship with God.” (Page 52)
“Made in the image of their Creator, every man found ways to be creative. This was their nature; this was their inherent need. Because this is part of what it means to be made in the image of God, this was a foreshadowing of the activities of heaven.” (Pages 43–44)
“From the time of Abraham through the rest of the OT, there is one all-important theme: God is making a way to heaven for the sinful race of men. Created in His image, but now fallen and guilty, mankind would yet become all that God intended.” (Page 47)
“Deuteronomy there seems to be increasing attention to heaven as the throne of God. Twenty-six times in this final book of Moses there is reference to heaven, whether as the sky or as the dwelling place of God (or as a combination of both).” (Page 56)
