As wonderful as heaven is, the ultimate destiny for every Christian is the new heavens and new earth, which Peter and John describe as a place of righteousness and restored innocence (2 Pet. 3:10-13; Rev. 21-22). Christ returns, resurrects and judges all people, establishes his kingdom in fullness, creates new heavens (atmospheric and stellar) and a new earth, and gives us roles to play in the administration of his eternal kingdom.
