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

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.

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

The new earth will complete God's program. It will be what God intended for Adam and Eve in Eden.

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

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

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.
