Upon death the believer goes immediately into the presence of Christ in heaven, a realm far better than this earth…Heaven is our true home.
--
p. 23Paul Enns
Every believer departing this old earth …immediately transitions into heaven and is welcomed home by Jesus himself.
Paul Enns
On this sinful, fallen earth, life will remain difficult, fraught with suffering and sadness. But we are looking forward to heaven—and heaven is always better in every realm than the earth.
Paul Enns
And how high is Christ's cross? As high as the highest heaven, and the throne of God, and the bosom of the Father — that bosom out of which forever proceed all created things. Ay, as high as the highest heaven! for — if you will receive it — when Christ hung upon the cross, heaven came down on earth, and earth ascended into heaven.
Charles Kingsley
If you are a preacher of mercy, do not preach an imaginary but the true mercy. If the mercy is true, you must therefore bear the true, not an imaginary sin. God does not save those who are only imaginary sinners. Be a sinner, and let your sins be strong (sin boldly), but let your trust in Christ be stronger, and rejoice in Christ who is the victor over sin, death, and the world. We will commit sins while we are here, for this life is not a place where justice resides. We, however, says Peter (2. Peter 3:13) are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth where justice will reign.
Martin Luther
As believers we have no need to fear death. Christ himself assures us of a safe arrival home in heaven!
