A Place Called Forever
When was the beginning of time, and how long is forever? Beginning implies that, before then, there was 'no prior'.
God has neither a beginning, nor is there an end of life to Him. When, What, Why, Who, Where, and How are 'Forever Questions'.
God created humans at a given time and in a given space. Created in 'a forever state', only disobedience could alter such state.
They in turn surrendered their right to 'a forever state'. This right to 'a forever state' could be restored Through Christ Alone.
In a sense, we can hitch a free ride with him to 'a place called forever'. Forever speaks to me of a time period whose period is unending.
Yet, in a larger sense, the two words, forever and period, should never be allowed in the same sentence. Oops.
Forever implies there is time without an end, with a timepiece that has no winder.
Forever implies that there is nothing indicating to me when or if 'this is over'.
Before the beginning, there was God. After forever, there will always be God.
