Immortality and life in paradise are desired by all. But how to cheat death? Here is a promise of God, “In the way of righteousness there is life; along that path is immortality.” Paul wrote the same, “To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality, God will give eternal life.” (Romans 2:7)
What is paradise like and what will I be like in paradise? “…we will all be changed— in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.” “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” (1 Corinthians 15:51-58)
