Céu
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.
A morada de Deus
Na casa de meu Pai há muitas moradas. Os céus declaram a glória de Deus — e um dia habitaremos lá eternamente.

1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.2 And the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God was waving over the face of the waters.

24 If a man should hide himself in secret places should I not then see him? saith the Lord. Do I not fill the heavens and the earth? saith the Lord.
17 Ah Lord Eternal! behold, it is thou that hast made the heavens and the earth by thy great power and by thy outstretched arm; nothing is too wonderful for thee;
Cidadania celestial
A nossa cidadania está nos céus. Ajuntai tesouros no céu, não na terra. O céu é a pátria do cristão.
Esperança eterna
Seremos arrebatados para encontrar o Senhor nos ares. Ainda não se manifestou o que havemos de ser — mas seremos semelhantes a Ele.
9 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so high are my ways above your ways, and my thoughts above your thoughts.
1 For every thing there is a season; and a proper time is for every pursuit under the heavens.
15 (5:14) As he came forth out of his mothers womb, naked will he return to go as he came; and not the least will he carry off for his toil, which he might take away with him.
