Abstract: Christianity regards the future in the sense that the future events will have the vocation of eradicating the evil for good, ending the fight between good and bad and eliminating the source of evil once and for all. In this study, looking from this Christian perspective regarding the future, a person who embraces the Christian values, no matter the present difficulties, will go further with stoicism and with faith, convinced that future will bring the complete solution to everything. Regarding the knowledge, a Christian considers that during his lifetime he knows the things only partially, but, along with the coming of Jesus Christ, he could reach the full understanding of things, fact which will determine him to move on in life facing any vicissitude with faith, waiting for the accomplishment of all the divine promises.
