Every believer departing this old earth ...immediately transitions into heaven and is welcomed home by Jesus himself.

God created man for fellowship... The fall of man ruined that and Paradise that is, the garden of Eden was lost, but on the new earth paradise will be regained and God will again fellowship with mankind in a unique sense.

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

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

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.

In heaven we will not longer cry, feel sad, or face death. Our bodies will be perfect, locked into eternal youth... ageless.
