In Heaven, you will not be able to stand up against Satan, the world and those who oppose God. You will never be able to choose to stand with God against the forces of evil. You can never again bless God by turning your back on sin and self. On Earth, you have the privilege and honor of telling the lost about salvation being found only in Jesus Christ. In Heaven, you will never again experience the joy of praying with someone to accept Jesus as savior.
There are no needs in Heaven. You will never have to trust God for your next meal, enough money for rent, or for anything at all. You will not have the privilege of reaching out to those in need. There are no charities in Heaven. You will not be able to sacrifice anything of yourself to help meet the needs of others.
Heaven has nothing more to overcome. There is nothing more to be victorious over because the victories are all won. The place, for all those things, is here on earth, at this time and this time only. Earth can be painful and hard. There is much evil here and suffering, but this is where you have the awesome ability to express your faith.
"Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." Hebrews 11:1

Interesting. Never thought about the end of "Faith", but actually as you pointed out
ReplyDeletefrom the perspective of the time after Christ's return,everything will be fulfilled. The bible also says we see and understand only partially (see dimly). Do you think we will ever have to ask "why" again?
I think we will know or have access to the answer to anything we wish to know.
