Randy Alcorn and Sean McDowell talk about some of the tough questions that people ask about Heaven. 

In our society many people look to cosmetic surgeries, implants, and other methods to remodel and renovate our crumbling bodies. We hold to youthfulness with a white-knuckled grip. Ultimately, it’s all in vain. But the gospel promises us eternal youthfulness, health, beauty, and happiness in the presence of our God and our spiritual family. It’s not ours now—but it will be, in the resurrection of the dead.

Meditate on these profound words from Scripture: “There shall no longer be any curse” (Revelation 22:3). The hope, the promise, the anticipation of this verse is inexpressible— it is weighty, thick with promise and joy.

Strangely, though Jesus in His resurrected body proclaimed, “I am not a ghost” (Luke 24:39, NLT), countless Christians think they will be ghosts in the eternal Heaven. The magnificent, cosmos-shaking victory of Christ’s resurrection—by definition a physical triumph over physical death in a physical world—escapes them.

In the following video, Randy Alcorn is interviewed by Sean McDowell over Zoom on the topic of Heaven, Hell, and the afterlife. 

What will we experience on the New Earth? (Make your own list. This is just a portion of mine.)

In January 2021 Randy Alcorn did a presentation for the C.S. Lewis Institute. He looked at Lewis's depiction of Heaven in the Narnia stories, and discussed how that reflects what we see in Scripture.

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.

The book of Hebrews seems to say that we should see Earth as a derivative realm and Heaven as the source realm. If we do, we’ll abandon the assumption that something existing in one realm cannot exist in the other. In fact, we’ll consider it likely that what exists in one realm exists in at least some form in the other.
