O céu é a morada eterna de Deus e a esperança final do cristão. A Bíblia descreve o céu como lugar de glória, alegria e comunhão perfeita com o Criador.

Esperança eterna
Seremos arrebatados para encontrar o Senhor nos ares. Ainda não se manifestou o que havemos de ser — mas seremos semelhantes a Ele.

To all things there is a time, and a season for every matter under heaven.
And this is also an evil infirmity: for as he came, so also shall he return: and what is his gain, for which he vainly labours?
