Heaven on Earth

[jasoncran]

I know this post was not for me, but please let me comment:

I vigorously disagree that we are already righteous. We are righteous only when we stop sinning, I believe.

Jesus died for our sins, but that doesn't make us righteous. It merely saves us from hell.

were a new creature, our santification is evidence of the new man. that is why we have to live the life.

"faith is the substance of things hoped for , evidence of things unseen."

we have faith in christ and must act on that, he changed us, and we must allow that change to take place.

 

[Bazz1040]

Does the Bible say we can’t have heaven on earth?

Heaven is peace of mind. How can heaven be heaven if you don’t have peace of mind?

You get peace of mind when you repent of you sin. In other words, we need to stop sinning.

That is the reason for this:

From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matt 4:17 RSV

Do I have it right?

In Heaven there is not only peace of mind but there is also peace among its inhabitance as well. But God when He created the Earth it was to be an extension of Heaven. When God make all things new He will come and dwell with mankind, and the Earth will be a peaceful place. The entire universe also will have inhabitance that will be at peace with themselves and with each other.
