Three-minute Bible Study
Passage:
1
Corinthians 2:9* Questions 2. What does this verse tell us
about the future that awaits those who love
God? Practical
help The Bible further tells us the
He will create a new heaven and a new earth (Isaiah
65:17, Revelation 21:1) and that we will live with Him
forever. In the mean time, His Spirit comforts and
guides and empowers us. Knowing the truth about the
future and having at least a sense of the good things
He is preparing for us gives us hope and courage to
press on in this life. It becomes a real help for us
also in dealing with the struggles and temptations of
this world — things like Web porn and its
attraction. Knowing the truth about our future and
God’s gift to us of eternity can be big help in
resisting temptation. This world is not all there is.
The best is yet to come.

to eXXit, the web site designed to help you stand
strong in the face of sexual temptation.But just as it is
written,
"Things which eye has
not seen and ear has not heard,
And which have not entered the heart of man,
All that God has prepared for those who love
Him."1. What can you imagine
about the things God is preparing for you?
Human imagination
can’t even grasp the things that God has in store
for those who know and love Him. Jesus said that he
was going to heaven in order to prepare a place for
His disciples (John 14:1-3). God told the nation of
Israel that He had good plans for them, plans that
included a future and hope. Even though we can’t
begin to understand it all, we can be sure that God
has good things waiting for us.
