Many Bible-believing Christians today are crippled by their unbiblical view of the life to come. This is why I have written at length on the subject of Heaven, putting primary emphasis on the resurrection and eternal state centered on the New Earth.

Randy Alcorn was interviewed on his updated book The Treasure Principle. In this audio clip, he talks about enjoying treasures forever on the New Earth.

I believe Scripture makes clear that we’ll have the privilege that was experienced by the fictional characters in The Magician’s Nephew and by the real angelic beings who witnessed the creation of the first Earth: We will actually witness the creation of the New Earth.

Heaven without God would be like a honeymoon without a groom or a palace without a king. Teresa of Avila said, “Wherever God is, there is Heaven.” The corollary: Wherever God is not, there is Hell.

Revelation talks about the marriage of the Lamb, between Christ and His bride (Revelation 19:7). This bride is made up of His collective people, who are “from every nation, tribe, people and language” (Revelation 7:9). Therefore, the New Jerusalem will be the dwelling place of all believers, not just those who are ethnically Jews and have trusted Jesus.

Que sais-je du Paradis? Quelle différence cela peut-il faire dans ma vie aujourd'hui? Pourquoi de nombreux Chrétiens ne semblent-ils plus bouillonnants à l'idée de rejoindre le Paradis? Quelles sont les idées reçues qui reviennent le plus souvent au sujet du Paradis?

In 2018, Randy Alcorn spoke at Hope Chapel Maui in Kihei, Hawaii on the subject of money and giving. For more information, see Randy's book The Treasure Principle. In this clip, Randy talks about how view of money is determined by where we consider our home to be. 

Over the years, people have told me they can’t get excited about the New Jerusalem because they don’t like cities. But this city will be different—it will have all the advantages we associate with earthly cities but none of the disadvantages. 

A nova terra é o lugar onde não haverá mais dor e sofrimento, onde o próprio Deus enxugará dos olhos toda a lágrima (Ap 21.4). Essa é a promessa perfeita para compartilhar com os descrentes.  Devemos dizer-lhes, sem ressalvas, que a felicidade que eles almejam, a reconciliação com o Deus de quem flui a felicidade, é encontrada somente em Jesus. E isso que torna o evangelho "novas de grande alegria"!
