[:en]A LITTLE BIT OF PARADISE
When God created Adam and Eve, they were in the Garden of Eden enjoying a little bit of paradise. But when they sinned, they were expelled from the garden of Eden and the ground was “cursed” (Gen. 3). Since then, the Earth and everything in it has been in “bondage to decay”. Suffering, disease, and our deaths are all result of sin (Rom. 8:18-23)
But one day, God is making everything new. His dwelling place will be renewed and restored into “a new heaven and a new earth” – where “there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away” (Rev. 21:1-4) On that day, we can enjoy the bright splashes and breathtaking beauty of Paradise. – (Alyson Kieda)[:]
