"For everything in the world, the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does, comes not from The Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever." 1 John 2:16-17 (NIV)
The Apostle John told the Christians that all of the things of this world are coming to an end, but he that obeys the will of God will abide with God forever. All of the worldly things are temporary and will vanish. All that which is of God will continue eternally.
When the fullness of time has come, there will be a new heaven and a new earth, for the current ones will have passed away. (Revelation 21:1) The soul of man will still be around and will continue to exist, in one place or another, because the soul comes from God. (Genesis 2:7 & Ezekiel 18:4) Only those who believe in Jesus, The Christ, will spend eternity with God. (John 14:6) Where will your soul spend eternity?
