"Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. I also saw the holy city, a new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband." ~ Revelation 21:1

The book of Revelation concludes with a final vision of the marriage of heaven and earth where an angel shows John a stunning bride that symbolizes the new creation that has come forever to join God and his covenant people. God announces that He's come to live with humanity forever and that He's making all things new.

The New Earth is an expression used in the in the Bible to describe the final state of redeemed humanity. It is one of the central doctrines of Christian eschatology and is referred to in the Nicene Creed as the world to come. All things will be made new. Death will be replaced with life. The whole earth will be a recreation of the garden, and the glory of the temple will cover it. Every nation will be blessed through the power of the resurrected Jesus, and God's own personal presence will permeate every square inch of the new creation.

In verse 4 of the same chapter, when it's all said and done, the Lord declares that He will wipe away every tear. A better day is indeed coming, and He is working to bring an end to all pain and suffering. As we place our trust in Him, we can know that a new Kingdom awaits… one that makes every moment until then worthwhile!

To partake in the new Jerusalem of the new earth, One must be born again by receiving our Lord Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. That is why the Bible says in John 1:12, “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name”: Only the sons and daughters of God are going to make heaven.

You enter heaven by forgiveness and through the righteousness that Jesus gives you. Only Jesus has the authority to forgive man his sin. You do not enter into heaven by religious life. It's always true that where faith is birthed, works will follow, but salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.
