What Does The Bible Say About Heaven?

Glorification is God's transformative work that begins now and continues throughout our lives, not just our eternal destination. Paul describes our earthly experience as camping in temporary tents while longing for our heavenly dwelling. This perspective helps us understand why we feel unsettled in this world and why suffering often shapes us more than comfort. While we're camping, God calls us to exercise cross-shaped authority through service and sacrifice, taking responsibility for what's within our reach. The Holy Spirit serves as our deposit, guaranteeing our eternal inheritance and providing evidence of God's work in our lives.
