Eternal Perspectives Ministry in Oregon received a question from a reader about why many Christians seem to put God in a box. The reader mentioned hearing people say that there won’t be sports or technology in Heaven, but the reader believes there will be mansions and homes in Heaven and the New Earth. The reader referenced the Scripture “nothing is too hard for the Lord.”
Doreen Button, a staff member of EPM, responded by acknowledging that humans often try to control their circumstances by putting God in a box. She explained that people want God to be understandable and to fulfill their demands and desires, but the God of the Bible cannot be controlled. She emphasized that God has a plan that will not be thwarted and that He has provided a way for people to be in relationship with Him.
Button highlighted the importance of sharing God’s love with others so they can also choose to be in a relationship with Him. She also mentioned that there are articles on Culture, Arts, and Technology on the New Earth that support the idea that the New Earth will be amazing. She concluded by reaffirming that nothing is too hard for the Lord.
