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.

The new earth will be like Eden. ..the deserts will gush with water. ... A beautiful and bountiful land will flourish.

When we see one another in heaven, we will have beautiful bodies that will far surpass the beauty of our bodies on this earth.

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.

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.

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.

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