Heaven is where God dwells. It is a specific place; a place of unparalleled tranquility and beauty. It includes the new heaven and new earth.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

As believers we have no need to fear death. Christ himself assures us of a safe arrival home in heaven!
