Is heaven our final home? - Part 2

Is heaven our final home? – Part 2

In the previous column we saw how Scripture describes heaven as the intermediate state between death and resurrection for followers of Jesus as they await future resurrection and glorification. Now, we look in more detail at heaven as well as the new heavens and new earth.

What about heaven?

The New Testament reveals many truths about this intermediate state for followers of Jesus. Here are 12:

00Is heaven the final destination of all who rest in Jesus? Or do we spend eternity someplace else?

In 2 Corinthians 5, the apostle Paul describes two different and mutually exclusive states of existence for the Christian. While we are on earth, “at home in the body,” we are “away from the Lord.” And when we are “out of the body” we are “at home with the Lord” (5:6, 8).

A Hunger for Heaven, Dr. Jack Warren’s latest book, has 136 pages in 7 chapters, dealing with the loss of his only daughter, Julie, the grief that followed and our only hope that is in Christ. It explains heaven, the intermediate state, where it is and what is going on there. It includes a chapter on dealing with the grief of losing someone and how to comfort those who have.

Two excerpts are as follows: “It is probably going to be with you for long time to come. You think you are ‘over it’ and suddenly something pulls the trigger. It could be a photograph or a memory or a holiday, especially a holiday. Like an attack dog it comes out of nowhere.”

“Most of us have been struck dumb when it comes to knowing what to say to a grieving friend or relative. We do not know what to say or do because we live in a society that knows no etiquette in such matters. Admittedly, it is very delicate because none of us wishes to intrude or cause more pain, but, remember, the grieving do need support.”
