In Christ God and mankind were reconciled to be eternally joined together as one. Likewise, Heaven, where God dwells and Earth, where we dwell, will also become one in Christ. At that time, we, as resurrected beings, will forever live in the restored New Heaven and Earth. “Through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross” (Colossians 1:20).
