One of the great strengths Christians carry through life is our assurance regarding the future. The church's understanding of eschatology, or the 'last days,' goes far deeper than discussions of end-time chronology. Because Christ is risen from the dead, we need never fear death; because he is king over heaven and earth, we cannot be anxious about the fate of our world.In this concluding book of his Texts that Transform series, Terry Johnson points us to an eternity of victory and praise that awaits every believer in Christ. But what of those who do not belong to him? Here we find our motivation to fulfil the Great Commission to 'go and make disciples of all nations.'

Our hope is a certain one, for we know that 'at the name of Jesus every knee [shall] bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.'
