Reflections on Future Glory

But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body…”  - Philippians 3:20-21

From Philippians 3:21 we have learned that the resurrection body will be like the glorified body of Christ—radiant, shining, perhaps even dazzling.  We shall not really know what this glory is like until we ourselves shall see it and experience it. - Anthony Hoekema

You have never met a mere mortal.  Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations—these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat.  But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit—immortal horrors or everlasting splendours.  - C. S. Lewis

 After this period God shall rest as on the seventh day, when He shall give us rest in Himself. … There we shall rest and see, see and love, love and praise.  This is what shall be in the end without end.  – Augustine

 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man.  He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. - Revelation 21:3
