I asked the men in my weekly small group, "If you knew today you had only one week to live, what would you do?” We came up with a number of answers and then asked ourselves why we wouldn't do those things soon.

Everything will be glorified, even nature itself. And that seems to me to be the biblical teaching about the eternal state: that what we call heaven is life in this perfect world as God intended humanity to live it. When he put Adam in Paradise at the beginning, Adam fell, and all fell with him, but men and women are meant to live in the body, and will live in a glorified body in a glorified world, and God will be with them.
