Heaven is both present and future. The essence of heaven is nearness to Christ and He already lives in the hearts of those who’ve invited Him in. Because God has seated Him in heavenly places, we too are seated with Him. (Eph 2:4-6) We tap into and practice heaven now when we allow His Presence to permeate our world. This is part of the grace of God toward us – knowing Joy and Peace as and absolute certainty of our heavenly home now and forever. Now is actually the dress rehearsal for eternity.
Eph 1:3,20; 2:4-6; 1Co15:20-23; Heb 6:19
