Eternity

Eternity is defined as an existence without beginning or end - Endless. When the word eternity is used in conversation, the full meaning is not always comprehended. Think about it! Think about something without a beginning. There is nothing in this world that didn't have some kind of beginning, and there is nothing that will last forever.

Manufacturers will tell you that their product has a lifetime guarantee, but the lifetime they are referring to has an end. All products are designed before they are built and brought into the marketplace which means they all have a beginning.

In Genesis 1:1, we read "in the Beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Here again, we see a beginning. But what about God Himself? We believe Him to be eternal. In Exodus 3:14, God said to Moses, "I Am who I Am". This statement alone tells us that God has always been and always will be, without a beginning or an end. Eternity will be available to all who believe in Christ. Just imagine what that will be like! Life without end. Have you accepted Christ as your personal Saviour? If not, do it now.
