While we look forward to a new heaven, let's first consider the new earth, for the new earth will indeed be like heaven on earth. We will live on a restored earth.

Existence continues at death for the believer in a fuller, more fulfilling way. Death should hold no fear for the believer.

Prosperity and security are ours in heaven. We will live in peace and safety.

God, through Jesus Christ, is the victory, and the renewed earth will reflect that glory.

There is a day coming when all of the suffering, all of the maladies of this life are destroyed, when we, in our glorified bodies, will live in heaven, on the new earth, eternally fulfilling God's ordained purpose for us.

Death brings release & removal from all evil, every tragedy & all difficulty. Death is not an enemy.

Scripture indicates that heaven is not distant but rather... heaven is near in another realm.
