       Speaking of our fellow brothers and sisters, what do you think we will look like? Well, we will have new, perfect bodies for sure. Again, Paul told the Corinthians, “Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality” (1 Corinthians 15:51-53, ESV). Of course, he is talking about the Rapture of the Church here, but it is at the Rapture that we all receive our new, resurrection bodies, whether we are alive on the earth or not at the time the Rapture occurs. Since our bodies will be imperishable, unable to die or be affected by sin, we can imagine they will be awesome. I would imagine that all of us will be perfectly in shape, for one. For anyone having trouble losing weight right now, remember, when you get your new body, you will lose it instantaneously.

       Any tension or problem that hasn’t been able to be resolved in this life will be completely resolved and gone in the next one. There won’t be any strained relations at all, which is a really great thing that God has done for us. The writer of Hebrews has told us that God has said, “For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more” (Hebrews 8:12, ESV). So, we can be sure that if God forgets our sin, and he even does in our relationships with him on the earth right now, then we will forget it too in Heaven. As an aside, what about sin that occurred in the Bible? If God’s Word lasts forever, how is it that those parts of Scripture that recorded sin in them will be there for eternity? I’m not sure about that, but I know we will forget all sin. Speaking of our fellow brothers and sisters, what do you think we will look like? Well, we will have new, perfect bodies for sure. Again, Paul told the Corinthians, “Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet” (1 Corinthians 15:51, ESV).

       And, not only will we be with God, but we will be with fellow human beings, many of whom we have cultivated and developed relationships with in this life. We will have relationships abounding. Many of our relationships will be with those people we knew on the earth, who were saved, and even people we helped lead into relationship with Christ. Those people will be truly joyous for us because we will know that we partook in God’s work to bring that person to himself. That’s one reason why our prayer and witnessing is so important now because we can gain friends for eternity. In our relationships, we won’t be able to recall any sins that had taken place while we are on the earth. They will be perfect, as we are perfect. Any tension or problem that hasn’t been able to be resolved in this life will be completely resolved and gone in the next one. There won’t be any strained relations at all, which is a really great thing that God has done for us. The writer of Hebrews has told us that God has said, “For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more” (Hebrews 8:12, ESV).

       Here in the New Jerusalem, we will be in God’s presence forever. We will know God the best we can. This is just an incredible, awesome thing to think about. And not only this, but also we will be with him face to face. You will never have to be concerned about anything ever again. Any question you have about anything, God will be right there to ask. We will be in perfect fellowship with him, so there won’t be anytime were we are not doing what is right. We won’t have to consider whether what we are doing is what God wants us to be doing, because he will be right there to direct us in his own, personal will for us. And in carrying out God’s will, we will do it with a perfect conscious, not concerned about any sin, temptation, consequence of sin, past rejection, etc. We will be living with God perfectly. And, not only will we be with God, but we will be with fellow human beings, many of whom we have cultivated and developed relationships with in this life. We will have relationships abounding.

       There will be a tremendous amount of area outside the city—for there is a New Heaven also, a new outer-space. So, it is theoretically possible, and many have discussed this, that there will be a countryside which we can venture into. There may even be other planets which we can visit, of which there are things to do. It could be a little like Star Trek, for instance. Regardless, I think based off of the Revelation 21 passage that it seems that our primary home, the home of everyone, will be in the New Jerusalem. In saying all of this, it is important to realize that we are going to like it and there is going to be plenty of things to keep us occupied. The greatest thing about this city is the fact that we will be with God forever, in a one-on-one basis. Now, if that bothers you in your spirit, I would definitely encourage you to consider why that might be. God is on our sides; he is our friend. He’s not overbearing or critical of us. If we have a wrong view of God, that’s something we really need to focus on correcting in our lives. Here in the New Jerusalem, we will be in God’s presence forever.
