Eternity stretches ahead.

 

“For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.”

- Romans 15:4 (KJV)

How great is God?

 

“They who dwell at the ends of the earth stand in awe of Your signs; You make the sunrise and the sunset shout for joy.”

- Psalm 65:8 (NASB)

You’re going to have victory.

 

“No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.”

- 1 Corinthians 10:13 (NKJV)

How do you break out of that?

 

“He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.”

- 2 Corinthians 5:15 (NKJV)

It’s the antithesis of the gospel.

 

“He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.”

- 2 Corinthians 5:15 (NKJV)

There’s something that lasts forever.

 

“Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven.”

- Psalm 119:89 (NKJV)

Shakespeare got it wrong!

 

“The word of our God shall stand for ever.”

- Isaiah 40:8 (KJV)

You’ll find no trace of it.

 

“Not only is this trade of ours in danger of falling into disrepute, but also the temple of the great goddess Diana may be despised and her magnificence destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worship.”

- Acts 19:27 (NKJV)

They were opposed to it!

 

“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.”

- 1 Corinthians 1:18 (KJV)

That cannot make sense.

 

“Though a sinner does evil a hundred times, and his days are prolonged, yet I surely know that it will be well with those who fear God, who fear before Him. But it will not be well with the wicked; nor will he prolong his days, which are as a shadow, because he does not fear before God.”

- Ecclesiastes 8:12-13 (NKJV)
