We live in a time when the “ages” are about to change. One age will end when Christ returns; a new age will begin. It is the hope and goal of all true Christians to be there when the next age begins. God, too, wants us to be there. Toward that end, in one book He gives us words of encouragement, words to guide us, words we must strongly consider and apply if we are to “cross over” into that new world.
