Some imagine that in Heaven we’ll be all dressed up with nowhere to go and nothing to do. (Except take an eternal afternoon nap, strum that harp, and polish that gold.) I’ve concluded there’s an unspoken assumption behind this pervasive notion that Heaven will be boring.

A sincere young man told me that no matter what I might say, Heaven must be boring. Why? “Because you can’t appreciate good without bad, light without darkness, or safety without danger. If Heaven is safe, if there’s no risk, it has to be boring.”

Bodies aren't shells for souls, they're part of who we are. Any afterlife view that denies bodily resurrection is unchristian.

Because the price of sin is not just death, but eternal death. No human being can transcend what is eternal, except Christ.
