Bible Q & A
Q.
|
It has been stated that God plans to expand His family for eternity by adding sons and daughters. Will God do this by
spiritual creation as He created the angels, or is this given for us to know (I Cor. 2:9)?

A.
|
The concept
that God will continue to expand His family for eternity
is a very logical inference drawn from Isaiah 9:7, a
prophecy of Christ which states: “Of the increase of
his government and of peace there will be now end . . .
.”
Some
have speculated that when we are immortal spirit beings,
sons of God in His family, we will have a part in
extending God’s Kingdom throughout the universe.
Perhaps God will create other human beings on other
planets in the universe who will then be afforded an
opportunity to become members of God’s family as we
were. Detailed
specifics about the next life are few and far between in
the Bible, but we are promised:
“. . . I make all
things new” (Rev.21:5). |
