DESIRE THE WORLD TO COME

"For here have we no continuing city but we seek one to come." Heb.13:14
"But now they desire a better country that is an heavenly; wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city." Heb.11:16
Understand that we live in an imperfect world. It is an earthly environment invaded and perverted by the devil as man permitted by reason of the fall in Eden.
It is a place where the consequences of the fall (sin) is pronounced.
It is a world where the force of death that makes everything to go bad/wrong is greatly at work.
It is a world where man is greatly a victim of the force of death.
Man has devised for himself certain interventions emanating from facts and figures that are based on researches to alleviate the problems. However, these devices of human wisdom can only make the situation of this world better but never perfect.
The good news is that Christ came here to make the world much better than human wisdom can afford. John 10:10
Because of this He introduced the force of life by reason of His death and resurrection that reverse the trend; i.e. now makes things to go well for believers.
As important and enormous this is it is greatly at the mercy of man's faith and the fact that devil, death and hell are yet to be hauled into the lake of fire.
It therefore means even for the redeemed things can only be much better than human wisdom can offer i.e. near perfect but still not perfect.
While we as believers seek to optimally enjoy the best that is available in Christ in the now, we must never lose sight of the world to come.
Because, in the world to come, everything shall be perfect. There shall no longer be desires because all needs are met. It shall not hurt nor destroy in God's holy mountain because the presence of God is ushered unto the earth in full force eternally. Much more importantly death, hell and even the devil shall be thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone. Rev.20:10,14
"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." Rev.21:4
It is wisdom therefore to desire the world to come, stop living miserably as if we have no hope. Instead, purify ourselves in hope while we wait for the appearance of that glorious world to come. I will be there! Will you be there?
