Heaven Isn’t Your Final Destination | What the New Testament Actually Says

What does the New Testament actually say about where Christians spend eternity?Most Christians grow up hearing some version of the same story: believe in Jesus, die, and go to heaven forever.But is that actually the hope Jesus and the apostles taught?The Berean Files joins Ben and Dennis from Bennis the Menace Pod to continue our conversation about heaven, resurrection, and the New Earth—this time focusing specifically on the New Testament.We dig into the teachings of Jesus, Paul, Peter, and Revelation to examine a distinction that often gets overlooked: going to be with Christ after death is not necessarily the same thing as our final eternal destination.The biblical story doesn't end with humanity abandoning creation for heaven. It ends with resurrection, renewed creation, the New Jerusalem coming down, and God dwelling with His people.So what happens when we die? What is the resurrection actually for? What did Paul mean by receiving a glorified body? Why does Peter talk about a New Earth? And why does Revelation end with heaven coming down rather than humanity permanently going up?Grab your Bible and test everything.Stay Berean.
