Randy Alcorn highlights that the blessing mentioned in Matthew 5:8 is in the present tense. We are blessed here and now by anticipating the future event of one day seeing God. This video clip was excerpted from Randy's Eternity 101 DVD class.

David tells us that in God's prescence is the fullness of joy and pleasures unceasing. From this Randy Alcorn argues that Christians are supposed to seek pleasure - in God that is. This Christian hedonism says, "I want to find all the joy in God I can find." And I will sacrifice lesser, immediate pleasures in order to pursue God.

We know that Christ is our greatest joy. But Paul tells us that God giving us His son provides the opportunity to give us all things. It is not quite biblically accurate to say that Christ is our only treasure. Rather he is our primary, ultimate treasure who enables us to receive secondary treasures from God.

Randy Alcorn quotes Jonathan Edwards who asserted that what we see of God in others will bring us the greatest delight. God is our greatest "happy making sight." Seeing Him is our greatest pleasure. This is what it means to be blessed. However, we must remember that when we are in sin, seeing God will not make us happy, but rather terrified by His greatness.

We will not know true life until we are with God. In the mean time, Randy Alcorn encourages us that the challenges of life cause us to thirst for God. This is what David expressed in Psalm 63. In the midst of these challenges we must look to Him for strength and provision. This video clip was excerpted from Randy's Eternity 101 DVD class.

Randy Alcorn tells us that, according to David, the greatest thing we can ask of God is to gaze upon His beauty. Getting to know God is our most important prayer request and our highest destiny. In fact, we will spend all of eternity getting to know God more and more. This video clip was excerpted from Randy's Eternity 101 DVD class.

I really have a missional perspective on this book. In a way, though it’s in English, because of its visual nature it’s like a translation into another language, a language that some people speak and some don’t.

Question from a reader: What is Randy's take on a Christian being vegan? I've seen some pretty horrible things considering animals at the slaughter. I'm curious to know what he thinks from an eternal perspective. 

Question from a reader: I just read your story of losing your sweet dog, Moses. I wept and wept as I read. I’m a Christian and am having such great difficulty with the suffering and death of animals everywhere. I have prayed for understanding but can’t find peace. I have begun to realize it is the curse of sin. How do I stop the pain and find peace?
