The physical resurrection of Jesus is the cornerstone of redemption. Without it and what it means—an eternal future for fully restored humans dwelling on a fully restored Earth—there’s no Christianity.

In this audio clip, Randy Alcorn shares how we can gain a greater love for what will last forever through giving and living with an eternal perspective.    

In this audio clip, Randy Alcorn talks about how his church community has been a major part of the healing process since his wife Nanci died.  

The unhappy suffering and death of Jesus ultimately guaranteed the death of death and the elimination and reversal of the curse. It also guaranteed the eternal happiness of all who believe and trust in Jesus and His unfathomable suffering on our behalf, all for our eternal good and His eternal glory.

In this audio clip, Randy Alcorn shares that those who have died aren’t missing out on the best of life; instead, they have joined the real party in Heaven. One day, we all will truly experience the best life possible on the New Earth, where adventures and joy will be unlimited.

In this audio clip, Randy Alcorn explains why how we think about God’s goodness and love is so important when we face times of suffering and crisis.  

Tomorrow, March 28, marks two years since Nanci entered the presence of Jesus, after a four-year battle with cancer. I’ve been reflecting on what God has been teaching me since her death and its first-year anniversary.

God has made us to be physical beings living in a physical world—eating, drinking, playing, working, loving, worshiping, and laughing to God’s glory. That’s the promise of the Resurrection—eternal delight and joy in the presence of the God who redeemed us.

Grief is an expected part of life on this broken earth. In this video clip from his interview with Costi Hinn on For the Gospel podcast, Randy Alcorn shares the importance of grieving with hope as believers in Jesus Christ.  

It’s not that often I read a book that deals with Heaven, the New Earth, or Eternal Reward when I feel like the author really “gets it.” Jordan Raynor has done his homework and really gets it. Hope you enjoy this excerpt from The Sacredness of Secular Work.

Many of us look forward to talking to Lazarus in Heaven and hearing his firsthand account of what it was like to be resurrected! However, it’s notable that those accounts, if Lazarus and others gave them, are not included in Scripture. 

I remember reading an atheist decades ago who was saying how deeply grateful he was that many people believed in God, because he admitted that he had no basis whatsoever for human rights, and at least God-fearing people did, even though he believed they were wrong.

Since the scenario you are envisioning did not happen, we have no biblical basis for an answer. Your question also implies that the world, as it is now, is a sort of Plan B. It’s easy to think that because we know God hates sin and yet, because we know He is both sovereign and omniscient, there is no other way for the world to be right now.

Reader Aaron Fullan tagged me in an Instagram reel sharing why he appreciated my Heaven book after reading just one page into the preface. I was surprised!
