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.

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

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

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.

The new earth will be like Eden. ..the deserts will gush with water. ... A beautiful and bountiful land will flourish.

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.
