Have you ever heard the statement, "Heaven is our real home"? Have you been told that the ultimate hope for the Christian is to leave behind this world and our bodies and go into the "better" spiritual experience? Now, of course it is true that everyone who trusts in Christ and receives the gift of salvation through faith will die and be with Jesus (immediately). However, the Bible's story of victory for the future is that God is going to finally deal with death and we will spend eternity in a resurrected or renewed earth, with God, and in our resurrected and glorified bodies. -Jeff Durbin- April 26, 2020
