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

Many of the passages that describe the millennial kingdom also, in continuity, describe the new heaven and the new earth the eternal state.

God prevented Adam & Even from ETERNAL SINFULNESS by giving them the gift of death, the ability to exit this life & arrive safely in the wondrous life to come. Death, though it would appear to be man's greatest enemy, would in the end, prove to be his greatest friend. Only through can we go to God.

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

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.

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

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