As believers we have no need to fear death. Christ himself assures us of a safe arrival home in heaven!

Heaven is where God dwells. It is a specific place; a place of unparalleled tranquility and beauty. It includes the new heaven and new earth.

It is only as we focus our thoughts on heaven that we will correctly interpret life on earth.

Our abilities and giftedness does not end of this earth; we will continue to serve the Lord in agreement with our abilities on this earth.

As a believer is changed, receiving a glorified body, so similarly, the earth is changed into a new earth, unstained by sin.

We are limited by our visual, physical senses; yet from the Scriptures we can readily conclude that heaven is indeed not distant at all. It is nearby.

The church is the bride of Christ. The kingdom will be the eternal celebration of the wedding of Christ and the church. We will enjoy rapturous celebration as the bride of Christ in the eternal kingdom.
