1. We will enjoy a new heaven and new earth
2. We will enjoy perfect relationship with God
3. We will no longer experience the effects of sin
No more tears, death, grief, crying, and pain
4. We will receive a new body and purpose
“The best of life on Earth is a glimpse of Heaven; the worst of life is a glimpse of Hell. For Christians, this present life is the closest they will come to Hell. For unbelievers, it is the closest they will come to Heaven.” – Randy Alcorn

Want to dig deeper? Walk through these questions below individually or with a group!
· Why is Heaven something we, as Christians, have a lot of questions about? Do you think it’s intentional that we don’t know everything about it?
· What has been your understanding of Heaven in the past? Has someone or something helped shape that view? Has your viewpoint changed about Heaven?
· What do non-Christians believe you must do to go to Heaven? How is that different that the Gospel of Jesus Christ?
· Read Revelation 7:15 and 22:5. How do you feel about the fact that you will have work to do in heaven? Do you look forward to serving Jesus? Why or why not?
· Read Revelation 21:1-5. When you think about the new heavens and the new earth, what aspects of it bring you the most joy?
· Read 1 Corinthians 15:35-49. How will our resurrection bodies be different from our current bodies? How will they be the same?
· Read Philippians 4:3 and Revelation 3:5. How does it make you feel to know that there is a book of life?
· Read Colossians 3:2. How does a heavenly perspective impact your life currently?
