The writer of Hebrews speaks of those "who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, and have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come" (Hebrews 6:4-5). It is not this article's intention to delve into qualifications for committing the unpardonable sin. The point I want you to notice is that we today can taste the powers of the world to come.

What will the world to come be like? During the Millennial Reign of Christ, the inhabitants of the land will not be sick (Isaiah 33:24). In our final home where we live on the new earth with God, there will be no crying or pain, and thus no sickness to cause pain (
Revelation 21:4). We will be changed in an instant and given new bodies that can never decay. Think of the power that will take! However, a down-payment of that kind of power is available today, just as the Spirit has been given to us as a down-payment of the blessings to come.


Thank God, it is possible to taste the powers of the world to come today! You don't have to wait until then. Yes, sickness will be done away with eventually, but you can experience God's power that drives out sickness today. This power will be widespread during the Millennium and universal on the new earth, but you can taste it now.

Most Christians don't know that they can taste the powers of the world to come in this life. But they can!
