Greetings all!
It is a privilege to have this opportunity to share with you what I have learned on the topic, "Knowing the Future", I learned that, as God's children, it is crucial for us to have knowledge of the future. The Holy Bible serves not only as a guidebook for doctrine, but also as a prophecy book. The intent of prophecy according to the Bible is for us to believe in the Lord's pronouncements when they are fulfilled. As Jesus Christ stated,
"And now I have told you before it came to pass that when it come to pass he might believe."
Therefore, Christians are made aware of future happenings or events before they occur, enabling us to be knowledgeable about what is to come. We cannot simply go about our lives and accept whatever happens, but instead have the ability, with God's help, to shape our future.
Proverbs 16:9 states that while a man may plan his ways, it is the Lord who ultimately directs his steps. Christians have the power to devise, plan, and contemplate what they want to achieve in the future, with the assurance that the Lord will guide them.
The first thing we must understand is that we will all die. Ecclesiastes 9:5 states,
"The living knows that they will die, but the dead know nothing."
While some may be fortunate enough to witness the coming of Jesus Christ and avoid death, death is inevitable for everyone. Therefore, we must acknowledge and believe that we will die, and then consider what comes after that.
Hebrews 9:27 tells us that after death, man will face judgment. This is unavoidable, and we must be prepared for it. As Ephesians 2:10 explains, God has already ordained good works for us to walk in, so while we are alive, we must be certain of our future and our work, ensuring that we are doing God's good works and following His commandments.
So as humans, we should know that serving God is our duty and that is what would guarantee our salvation. We should beer in mind that we'll someday die and Face the judgement of God. So we should utilize every opportunity to serve God.
