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.

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.

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

Our abilities and giftedness does not end of this earth; we will continue to serve the Lord in agreement with our abilities on this earth.

On the new earth heaven we will have perfect bodies, resistant to any ailment. Our new bodies will continue on forever, without missing a beat.

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

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.
