What you'll learn
If Heaven really entails an eternity of sitting around on clouds and plucking harps, the afterlife sounds excruciatingly boring. Randy Alcorn offers a vision of Heaven that’s much more compelling, one better aligned with what the Bible says about Heaven. It’s a picture of the future that people might actually consider worth living and dying for.
Key insights
- 1 People (including Christians) aren’t excited about heaven because their picture of heaven is painfully boring and tragically misinformed.
- 2 We know enough about what heaven will be like to imagine what it could be like.
- 3 Heaven’s not our final destination—earth is.
- 4 The New Earth will not be a repeat of the Garden, but a civilization.
- 5 In the New Earth, we won’t be “only human” but truly human, more ourselves than we could be under the Curse.
- 6 In heaven, we’ll enjoy incorruptible, glorious resurrected bodies, free of disease and aging, capable of things we can’t imagine.
- 7 It’s likely that animals will be part of the New Earth, and it’s possible that they’ll worship with us and talk with us.
