Sabbath School Lesson 13: "Into Eternity" | Growing Your Relationship With God (Q2 2026)

Sabbath School Lesson 13, called Into Eternity, is where I've been growing my relationship with God this quarter. I opened my Bible at the kitchen table Sabbath morning, coffee going cold, turning from Genesis toward Revelation looking for hope that actually holds up. This lesson felt like Bible explained the way I needed - real bible study, real bible teaching, not just daily bible verses skimmed and forgotten. It walks through salvation, redemption, resurrection, and restoration in Jesus Christ, tying covenant and grace into one long thread of faith in God that never lets go. As an Adventist, SDA Sabbath School Lesson always roots discipleship and spiritual growth in Scripture, and this Bible lesson pushes further into end times and eschatology than most. Worship on Sabbath became less routine and more Bible reflection, more Christian faith lived out loud, more faith that eternity is written into how I read the Bible. 00:00 Intro 02:00-04:00 Setting the stage for Into Eternity 07:00-10:00 Salvation, redemption, and resurrection in Scripture 13:00-16:00 Restoration, covenant, and the promise of eternity 19:00-21:00 Living out faith through worship and discipleship References Seventh-day Adventist Church – Explains the core beliefs of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, including salvation, the Second Coming of Christ, the new earth, eternal life, and the hope found in Scripture.
