How Do You View the Future?

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS

“God . . . will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”​—Revelation 21:3, 4, New World Translation.

WHAT THAT CAN MEAN FOR YOU

Meaningful and satisfying work.​—Isaiah 65:21-23.

No more sickness or suffering of any kind.​—Isaiah 25:8; 33:24.

A happy, unending life with family and friends.​—Psalm 37:11, 29.

CAN WE REALLY BELIEVE WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS?

Yes, for at least two reasons:

• God can do what he promises. The Bible says that Jehovah God is “the Almighty.” That means that he has unlimited power... As the Bible says, “all things are possible with God.”—Mark 10:27.

• God has the desire to fulfill the promise. The Bible says that Jehovah is going to restore life to people who have died.—Acts 24:15.

  The Bible also teaches that God’s son, Jesus, healed sick people. Why did he do that? Because he really wanted to help people. Jesus is just like his Father.

  So we can be sure that both Jehovah and Jesus want to help us to enjoy a happy future!​—Psalm 72:12-14; 145:16; 2 Peter 3:9.
