What did Paul say after he had a glimpse of eternal life?
After Paul received a glimpse of eternal life, he came back and said, “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard the things that have been prepared for them that love him.” This declaration emphasizes that the glory prepared for those who love God surpasses anything seen or heard, pointing to eternal life in His presence.
Les explains that the best little glimpse we have ever gotten is when Paul, in 2 Corinthians, had just a glimpse of eternal life and then came back and said, “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard the things that have been prepared for them that love him.” Les ties this to the guarantee that when we believe, God has promised eternal life—not merely something better for the 50 years we have in this world, but eternal life forever and ever in His presence. He notes that too many people lose sight of that.
