““When we see one another in heaven, we will have beautiful bodies that will far surpass the beauty of our bodies on this earth.”

“There is a day coming when all of the suffering, all of the maladies of this life are destroyed, when we, in our glorified bodies, will live in heaven, on the new earth, eternally fulfilling God’s ordained purpose for us.”

“God, through Jesus Christ, is the victory, and the renewed earth will reflect that glory.”

“As believers we have no need to fear death. Christ himself assures us of a safe arrival home in heaven!”

“The admission to heaven is faith in Jesus Christ. He is the only way. There is no other philosophy, no religion, no other way.”

“The church is the bride of Christ. The kingdom will be the eternal celebration of the wedding of Christ and the church. We will enjoy rapturous celebration as the bride of Christ in the eternal kingdom.”
