Serving God is our joy. But Randy Alcorn quotes Jesus who said that God our Master serves us. This doesn't make Him our servant. But how great is His love for us that He would serve us by saving us to let us be with Him? This video clip was excerpted from Randy's Eternity 101 DVD class.

According to Jonathan Edwards, when we go to heaven it will be like being "cast into a sea of happiness" because we will be filled to capacity with God and His rewards. But Randy Alcorn explains that different size vessels will be filled with different amounts of rewards. Yet all will be filled and satisfied. The greater our obedience and service to God in this life, the bigger the vessel we become. But no matter the size of the vessel in Heaven, we will all be equally happy because we will all be completely filled. This video clip was excerpted from Randy's Eternity 101 DVD class.

What's wrong with rewards? Nothing. Randy Alcorn emphasizes that if rewards were our idea, there would be a problem. But God chose to give us rewards and Scripture tells us so repeatedly. Because works don't achieve our salvation we have deminished the delight that our service to God brings Him. This video clip was excerpted from Randy's Eternity 101 DVD class.

Is it simply just our job to serve God? Is He delighted by us merely doing our duty to Him? Randy Alcorn uses a family illustration to show that it is not the moral high ground to reject God's rewards and serve Him just out of a sense of duty. Though we shouldn't demand rewards of God, we should delight to receive what He chooses to give us. This video clip was excerpted from Randy's Eternity 101 DVD class.

Randy Alcorn points out that we are often uncomfortable about the idea of God giving us rewards. But rewards are simply what God wants to give because He delights in us and we have pleased Him. This doesn't make it about the rewards, rather it makes it about the God who gives the rewards. Yet we should gladly receive the gifts that God wants to give us.

Randy Alcorn quotes Charles Spurgeon who said, "We know little of spiritual things because we are so occupied by worldly things." In Heaven, there will be no idols between us and God; we will see God as He is and so all else will fall into place. In the same way, for everything to be right in this life, our hearts must be occupied by nothing besides God. This video clip was excerpted from Randy's Eternity 101 DVD class.

As Jonathan Edwards tells us, God is our great good, which redemption has enabled us to enjoy. Randy Alcorn explains that all other things that we enjoy in this life are secondary to our enjoyment of God. In fact, as Augustine said, we are made for God and so He is the chief object of our desires; we will be restless until we find rest in Him.

Randy Alcorn shares a memory of snorkeling in order to describe how he thinks we will respond when we first see God. This video clip was excerpted from Randy's Eternity 101 DVD class.

Randy Alcorn quotes Bruce Milne who emphasizes that in the New Heavens and New Earth God will overfill His creation. Today there is much that blocks our view of Him. But one day God will fill all of creation with Himself. So life in the new Holy City will be totally centered on God. This video clip was excerpted from Randy's Eternity 101 DVD class.
