The Baptist Faith and Message
X. Last Things
God, in His own time and in His own way, will bring
the world to its appropriate end. According to His promise, Jesus Christ will
return personally and visibly in glory to the earth; the dead will he raised;
and Christ will judge all men in righteousness. The unrighteous will be consigned
to Hell, the place of everlasting punishment. The righteous in their resurrected
and glorified bodies will receive their reward and will dwell forever in Heaven
with the Lord.
