Pleasant Words from the Gospel






                   I declare to you, brothers... nor does the perishable inherit the
                   imperishable. Listen, I tell you a mystery: ... We will all be
                   changed in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.

                   For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperish-
                   able, and we will be changed [created with a new creation]. (1
                   Corinthians, 15:50-52)

                    And I have the same hope in God as these men, that there will
                      be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked. So
                         I strive always to keep my conscience clear before God...
                                    
                           (Acts, 24 :15-16)


                                               Belief in the Day of

                                                       Judgment

                                                Everything is uncovered and
                                                laid bare before the eyes of Him
                                               to Whom we must give account.
                                              (Hebrews, 4:13)

                                             God "will give to each person ac-
                                           cording to what he has done." To
                                          those who by persistence in doing
                                          good seek glory, honor and immortali-

                                           ty, He will give eternal life [paradise].
                                            But for those who are self-seeking
                                             and who reject the truth and follow
                                             evil, there will be wrath and anger.
                                             (Romans, 2:6-8)
