Certa vez, ouvi um pastor dizer: "Estou cansado de ouvir as pessoas usarem Romanos 8:28 de maneira trivial." Eu também. Mas não estou cansado de Romanos 8:28 em si e oro para que nunca me canse. Quando você usar este verso poderosamente explosivo (e você deve usá-lo), manuseie-o com cuidado. Mas faça o que fizer, não fique longe disso.

In January 2021 Randy Alcorn did a presentation for the C.S. Lewis Institute. He looked at Lewis's depiction of Heaven in the Narnia stories, and discussed how that reflects what we see in Scripture.

爸爸们（这也适用于妈妈们），如果你已经花了很多时间陪伴孩子，当然要专注于质量。但是，如果你没有花足够的时间陪伴孩子，或者经常被分心而烦恼，请不要尝试通过将微不足道的时间称为“优质”来弥补这一损失。

As we learn to give, we draw closer to God. But no matter how far we progress in the grace of giving, Jesus Christ remains the unmatchable giver. It was He who left the wealth of Heaven to make the supreme sacrifice to deliver us from eternal poverty and grant us eternal riches.

My daughters Karina and Angela know my weaknesses and imperfections and when I failed them, sometimes knowing it, but most of the time not knowing. But I hope they also know the depth of my love for them, which is beyond anything I can express. I do recall times of asking their forgiveness for things I said and did, but I’m sure there were other times when I failed to do that. I thank God for His love and forgiveness.

Everything will be glorified, even nature itself. And that seems to me to be the biblical teaching about the eternal state: that what we call heaven is life in this perfect world as God intended humanity to live it. When he put Adam in Paradise at the beginning, Adam fell, and all fell with him, but men and women are meant to live in the body, and will live in a glorified body in a glorified world, and God will be with them.

The book of Hebrews seems to say that we should see Earth as a derivative realm and Heaven as the source realm. If we do, we’ll abandon the assumption that something existing in one realm cannot exist in the other. In fact, we’ll consider it likely that what exists in one realm exists in at least some form in the other.
