As Christians, we are making an all-out effort with God’s help to live faithfully in the difficult and complex now between the then of what we once were and the not yet of what we shall be in that magnificent glory of the new heavens and new earth:
Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells (2 Peter 3:13).
Oh, what a great and glorious eternity that will be!
