A perfect realm

He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever. (Revelation 21:4 NIV)

 According to the Bible, one of the biggest differences between the earth life and heaven is that heaven is a perfect realm, a place filled with God’s presence, where we can enjoy all the beauties and wonders that we have here on earth, but without the sorrow, pain, emptiness, loneliness and fear that so often grip us, and without the selfishness, greed, hate and destruction that we see in the world around us.
 We will have bodies, much like we do now, but without the sickness, discomfort, aging, or pain that we experience in our earthly bodies. We’ll have our loved ones, our families and children around us. We’ll be able to enjoy each other’s company and live happily together forever in the presence of the One who loved and created us.
 We’ll be fully occupied with things that truly matter and that make a difference in other people’s lives. We’ll be investing our time in things that give us joy and inspire us instead of the drudgery, the drab routine, and the senselessness that many of us have experienced in our daily lives here.
 The good news is that, through believing in Jesus, anybody can enter into the kingdom of heaven and experience the joy, fulfillment, and everlasting love that God wants to give each of us, both here and in the life to come. - Maria Fontaine [1]
