God, through Jesus Christ, is the victory, and the renewed earth will reflect that glory. - Paul P. Enns

In heaven, “we will have a real body with a real voice—and we will recognize each other’s voice.”

While we look forward to a new heaven, let’s first consider the new earth, for the new earth will indeed be like heaven on earth. We will live on a restored earth.

The gap that separated the holy and righteous God from sincful humanity has been bridged through…Jesus Christ. Hence, in eternity God will dwell intimately with redeemed mankind. **p. 25
