Time and Eternity

An introduction

The Writings teach that there is no time or space as we know them in the spiritual world and, indeed, that even in this world time is only an appearance, necessary to support the free will that is central to the purpose of the physical universe's creation. The fact that God is outside of time has important implications for how we think about His relation to us and the perspective we have on life - and eternity - in our decision-making..
