A columnist writes in our local paper (BOOKS AND BITES, The Northland Age, Tuesday, May 20, 2014) about young people.
First of all he says that there are young people who feel that they do not have a Future.
And secondly he says that because of that they are not prepared to work for it.
What are we going to do about them? How can we help them? Do we have a message for them?
Of course we have a message for them. The message for them is in the BIBLE.
The Bible tells us about THE FUTURE GLORY OF BELIEVERS. Believers in the Lord Jesus Christ have a glorious FUTURE. What does the Bible say about THE FUTURE GLORY OF BELIEVERS?
1. To be with the Lord Jesus Christ (John 14:3).
2. To see his face (Psalm 17:15).
3. To see the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ (John 17:24).
4. To be glorified with Christ (Romans 8:17,18).
5. To reign with the Lord Jesus Christ (Second Timothy 2:12).
6. To inherit all things ( Revelation 21:7)
7. To shine as the stars (Daniel 12:30)
We do not only have a message for young people who feel that they do not have a future.
We have a message for our entire society, for everybody.
And that is the message in the BIBLE about THE FUTURE GLORY OF BELIEVERS in Jesus Christ.
