And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Look! God's dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. Revelation 21:3 NIV

Goal
Living With God
How we view God, and how that forms our relationship with Him now – here on earth, will greatly impact and determine our relationship with Him for eternity.
“If you love me, you will obey my commands”
The child, the philosopher, and the religionist have all one question: “What is God like?”

Randy Alcorn: Jesus In Heaven
https://www.epm.org/blog/2023/Feb/20/how-accessible-jesus-be
If indeed Jesus is the eternally incarnate son of God and still has His resurrection body, doesn’t that mean He can only be at one place at one time on Earth? When Jesus was in Caesarea Philippi, He was not also in Jerusalem healing the multitudes. He was in one place at one time. That’s part of His humanness. Will it be that same way on the New Earth? I don’t know.

AW Tozer: The Holiness of God 1-3
This sermon series was the preview to and inspiration for Tozer writing the classic “Knowledge of the Holy”
Tozer powerfully delivers a message on the Holy character of God. This is a doctrine and truth that he shares has been lost in our day of humanistic christianity. We have lost the sense of the awful and awesome presence of God. He is not to be feared anymore but to played with and cuddled. May God revive to the church a healthy respect of this Holy God we worship.
