We hold on so tenaciously to life in this world because we haven't really been convinced

of the glory that the Father has established in heaven for His people.

Our greatest moment will be the moment that we walk through the door and leave this world

of tears and of sorrow, this valley of death and enter into the presence of the Lamb.

Do you spend much time thinking about the reality of eternity?

The world contempt us and distract us with anew this and anew that.

When what is really significant is for the Christian, one day we'll enjoy seeing God

as He is, and there'll be a new heaven and a new earth and we'll dwell with God eternally.

You're listening to renewing your mind on Nathan W. Bingham.

So what will heaven be like?

The biblical description on many parts is very different than what is often portrayed

in culture, and sadly some Christians have been influenced more by that than the truth.

So to conclude this week's study, here's R.C. Sproul, to explore what the Bible says about

eternity for the Christian.

Every Sunday we see God's sign of the promise of rest that is before every believer.

Because the Sabbath day is God's established sign of His promise that we will enter into

our rest in the future.

But there are those in our day who doubt that there's life after death and who say to

us that our hope of heaven is just so much pie in the sky.

It's a direct result of our ability to project our wishes and our desires into the future.

And they will ask on what basis do we have any real confidence that the next world will

be better than this one?
