P. 5
God knew that man would sin, and thus would not be able to live
forever in the condition of sin, as he had created Adam and Eve
to do.
He knew that redemption would be needed, which is what the
entire Bible is about after Genesis 3. Paul tells us that God made
Jesus to be:
(a) wisdom (gospel truth),
(b) righteousness,
(c) sanctification and
(d) redemption unto us.
(I Cor 1:30)

Life Is Only
‘A Temporary Assignment’
This life is just a temporary assignment for all of us. We are
told our lives are but a vapor or a mist (James 4:14).
The bumper sticker says, “Life is just one damn thing after
another, and then you die!”
We all know we’re not going to get out of this alive — at least
not in the condition we are living presently. But the fact is the
Bible tells us we all live forever. Every person on the face of the
earth lives forever in one of two places.
