Balancing life on the edge of eternity can be a difficult thing.

​We can feel torn between our present life on earth and our future reality with Christ in eternity. Like exiles and foreigners, we can feel caught between worlds as we long for Jesus to bring us into our spiritual home. While some days on earth are joyful and fulfilling, other days can feel lonely and disheartening. Although we know that God is with us, our hearts, minds and bodies continue to fight against sin and death.

At Katoomba Easter Convention, we will be exploring the theme 'Life On The Edge Of Eternity'. To prepare your heart for KEC, here are 9 promises to spur you on as you wait on the edge of eternity:
​

1. The whole world will submit to the lordship of King Jesus; and there will no longer be any threats or competition to His power or kingdom. (Luke 1:32-33)
   
   
   
2. King Jesus will rule with perfect righteousness so that every injustice will be judged and every wrong made right. (Luke 18:7, Acts 17:31)
   
   
   
3. Our sinful desires that once separated us from God’s holy presence will be eradicated once and for all. We will be made holy with new spiritual bodies that are incapable of sin and death. (Phil 3:20-21, 1 Cor 15:51-57)
   
   
   
4. We will no longer have to fear the humiliation or disgrace of our past, present and future sin. We will no longer have to feel shame. (Isaiah 54:4, Rom 5:5, 9:33, 10:11)
   
   
   
5. Jesus will return to wipe away every tear caused by death, mourning or pain. (Rev 21:4)
   
   
   
6. We will see the fruit of our labour in the Lord and know with certainty that our work and sacrifices were not in vain. (Phil 2:15-16)
   
   
   
7. There will be unity and peace as believers from every nation, tribe, people and language group comes together because of their mutual faith and worship of Christ. (Rev 7:9)
   
   
   
8. We will enter God’s promise of everlasting rest from the thorns and thistles of work, worry and anxiety. (Heb 4:9-10, Rev 14:13)
   
   
   
9. We do not need to fear death because after we die, we will enjoy eternal joy and pleasure in God’s presence. (Psalm 16:11)
