Believers have a genuine, unfailing hope of a future reunion with loved ones. We can find joy in anticipating our future reunion.

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.

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.

A magnificent restoration awaits us. Christ comes in judgment; then restoration.

Upon death the believer goes immediately into the presence of Christ in heaven, a realm far better than this earth. Heaven is our true home.

On the new earth heaven we will have perfect bodies, resistant to any ailment. Our new bodies will continue on forever, without missing a beat.

Believers have a genuine, unfailing hope of a future reunion with loved ones. We can find joy in anticipating our future reunion.
