TEN BASIC CHRISTIAN BELIEFS 9: FUTURE
(Message by Tanny Keng)
a) There are many great teachings in the Bible, but here are some of the most important, or fundamental beliefs of the Christian faith. Within each of these broad categories there are many other doctrines that could fill whole books and bookshelves. This is just a quick overview of what Christians believe.
b) It is wonderful to know that God communicates to us through His Word so that we can know about Him and His plan. We encourage you to take the basic Bible teachings here and study more about God and His Word on your own.
2. Future
a) Escatology is the study of the last things. While there is some controversy among Christians over the exact order of events, the general idea of things to come is that Christ will return to rapture the church and resurrect the dead believers (1 Corinthians 15; 1 and 2 Thessalonians; Titus 2:13; 2 Peter 3:12). There will be judgment for the unsaved (Psalm 96:13; Acts 17:31; Hebrews 9:27). While the saved will be judged (1 Corinthians 3:8-16; 2 Corinthians 5:10), there will also be a time of reward for them (1 Corinthians 4:5).
