Because there is a God-who created us in His image- mankind craves perfection, peace, hope, unconditional love and eternity in His presence. Mankind was created in perfect harmony and relationship with the one true God. Sin is what separated us from Him.
Every "religion" in the world speaks of what must be done for god. However, the Bible speaks of a God that sacrificed everything to redeem mankind. The one true God asks only for our surrender, trust and compete devotion. Each of the things you mentioned (like technology, time, resources) are just tools to be used to either glorify our Creator or edify ourselves.
The end of the world- like a wedding to unite God to His bride, the Church-will come following a seven-year tribulation. Jesus Christ will return, destroy the Antichrist and his armies, at the battle of Armageddon (
Revelation 19:11-21). Christ will then bind Satan in the Abyss for 1,000 years. Christ, the Word will rule His earthly kingdom for this thousand-year period (
Revelation 20:1-6).
At the end of the thousand years, Satan will be released, defeated again, and then cast into the lake of fire (
Revelation 20:7-10) for eternity. All who refused the Lord and did not believe will be judged (
Revelation 20:10-15) at the great white throne judgment. An eternity separated from God is referred to as the lake of fire. A new heaven, a new earth and the New Jerusalem will be the eternal dwelling place for believers, the bride of Christ, the Church. There will be no more sin, sorrow, or death (
Revelation 21–22).
