Rethinking our Beliefs about Heaven

Some of the portrayals of Heaven in my novels Deadline and Dominion are surprising and unconventional.

New Earth

What we usually think of when we hear “Heaven” is the intermediate state.

Intermediate State in Heaven

The reason I don’t address activities about the intermediate state is because there are not a lot of details given to it.

The Far Reaches of Christ’s Redemptive Work

Eugene Peterson captures the universal implications of Christ’s redemption when he paraphrases Colossians 1:18-20 in The Message: “He was supreme in the beginning and—leading the resurrection parade—he is supreme in the end. From beginning to end he’s there, towering far above everything, everyone. So spacious is he, so roomy, that everything of God finds its proper place in him without crowding. Not only that, but all the broken and dislocated pieces of the universe—people and things, animals and atoms-get properly fixed and fit together in vibrant harmonies, all because of his death, his blood that poured down from the Cross.”

Believer’s Judgment of Works

What awaits the believer after death? We all know the answer—heaven.

What will our relationship with God be like in Heaven?

Ancient theologians spoke of the “Beatific Vision,” which meant “a happy-making sight.”

What will the ultimate Heaven be like?

Heaven is both a country (Luke 19:12; Heb. 11:14-16) and a city (Heb. 11:16; 12:22; 13:14; Rev. 21:12).

What will we be like in Heaven?

Yes, the place called heaven—our home—will be wildly wonderful.

What will we do in heaven?

Rest from our labors on earth (Rev. 14:13). We will experience relaxation and leisure, freedom from the frustrations of tedious and burdensome labor.
