One of the most comforting thing that as a follower of Christ experiences is the Hope of the Future. It's not only the Hope for this Life but for the life which is to come.
Romans 5:7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.
“If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable” is actually 1 Corinthians 15:19.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 2 Corinthians 5:17
Since the time of Adam, the Paradise on Earth is lost. Jesus restored, but yet we still have to live in this world which is corrupted and wicked. Only when we choose Jesus as the Lord and Savior, he transforms our lives and to live a life according to his purpose. He also promised that he goes and prepares a place for us. The other interesting aspect of being a follower of Jesus is that we are going to witness "a new heaven and new Earth", when Jesus fully restores the creation.
