JOB ASSIGNMENT THROUGHOUT ETERNITY

THE OCCUPATION OR PERFORMANCE OF THE SAINTS THROUGHOUT ETERNITY

 

It is safe to say that saved people in general wonder what they will be doing through the ages of eternity. Most of the saints envision it as a state of ineffable bliss when the disappointments and unhappiness of the present are removed. Others think of it as physical release from the strenuous exertions of the present life. Still others carry the notion that it is a state of idleness and enjoyment. And many would be hard pressed for any answer as to what lies ahead.

Energetic people are appalled at the thought that the eternal state will be character­ized by inactivity, idleness, mere release. The reason for this response is that the very essence of life is activity and productiveness. As a result the future is unat­tractive, even repulsive.

Mere imagination will not bring the answer to this question that persists. The answer must be found in the revelation of God recorded in the Bible. And a careful examination will reveal that there is sufficient information to brighten the prospect of the future. There are at least three areas of activity that will be in evidence during the eternal state.
