Paradise - the unseen world

 Jesus told the thief on the cross, "Today you shall be with me in Paradise"...Luke 23:43

This profound statement made by Christ indicated that Eternity begins at the point of death...whether it be eternal life or eternal death.

Paradise, the spiritual abode of the dead, is God's final determination made upon the spiritual make-up of all men. It is called man's long home in the book of Ecclesiastes 12:5.

The bible teaches that eternal life is Heaven. It is also taught within, that Hell is eternal damnation. Both Heaven and Hell are inside of this vast place of life beyond the grave...taught as Abraham's bosom in the Old Testament records. Paradise in Luke 16. All being within Eternal Judgment made by God.

Paradise is the unseen world that all humanity will face. It is the spiritual abode of the dead where distance between heaven and Hell is infinite without possible means of ever crossing over. Lazarus and the rich man Luke 16.

Paradise determines every man's final residence. This is why its so important to know Christ and that every sin is forgiven as you are ready for eternity at the blink of an eye.

They always obeyed...Paul commended

Philippians 2:12-13...Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. 

Christians have the power to obey God. Not a struggle to obey God; its the blessing of the Christian life where the Holy Spirit governs your life. God does the work within as a result of your faith in Christ. Therefore this new creation is made right to do right in everyday life. Obeying God is the result of the Saving Grace of God in the heart of a believer in Christ...

2 Corinthians 5:21...For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
