You will not be in heaven forever.
Welcome to the GOSPEL JOURNEY. This week we'll be working through the sentence: Life that is eternal means being with Jesus forever. These posts are to help you engage with the central message of the Bible. Comment. Question. Agree. Disagree. Either way, let us know what you think.You wil not be in heaven forever.
That's not just a poor choice for the opening sentence in an evangelistic conversation, it's also a theological statement that is true for all of us. Take a look at Revelation 21 & 22 and answer these questions:
1. What happened to the old earth? (Read a few verses before Revelation 21 to see.)
2. What is the significance of the New Jerusalem descending?
3. Try and summarize the appearance of the New Jerusalem. How close do you think words can come?
4. Why isn't there a temple in the New Jerusalem?
5. What will being in God's presence be like?
So technically, we won't be in heaven forever. We'll be on a new earth, but it will be out of this world!

Just found this blog. It's a great idea. "The Gospel" gets thrown around a lot without ever being unpacked. I was reminded of this recently when attempting to write a short understandable explanation of the gospel. The hard part was how to phrase the good news in a way that doesn't undercut the main message or promise something the Bible doesn't. I mean Paul had all of Romans and I'm trying to do it in something that can be read under 5 min. It makes one have a new perspective (not in a Saunders sort of way) on people who publish tracks.
I'd be interested on your thoughts on it danny. www.discoversoma.org. Click on our Dna and then "the gospel".
