BENEFITS: Judaism
GH: The benefits of Judaism include being granted eternal life in heaven as well as living in God’s favor should they keep the law. However, some Jews only believe in the later benefit and question whether or not there really is a heaven, but think that our time on earth is the only time which God has afforded us.
Jews seem to take comfort by the guidance these aspects provide for their daily lives. “Judaism is concerned primarily with this life rather than the next, and with obeying the Law of God in the present rather than speculating about the future” (Eerdmans 310). Judaism, then, strives to reach its goal by guiding its followers safely and securely through this life.
