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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.
