To be in resurrected bodies on a resurrected Earth in resurrected friendships, enjoying a resurrected culture with the resurrected Jesus-now that will be the ultimate party! Everybody will be who God made them to be-and none of us will ever suffer or die again. As a Christian, the day I die will be the best day I've ever lived. But it won't be the best day I ever will live. Resurrection day will be far better. And the first day on the New Earth-that will be one big step for mankind, one giant leap for God's glory.

Randy Alcorn, in his book "Heaven," expresses a profound hope for the future of believers in Christ. He describes a vision where resurrected individuals inhabit a transformed Earth, engaging in vibrant relationships and cultural celebrations alongside Jesus. This envisioned reality promises a joy and fulfillment that transcends current human experiences, marking a significant departure from the trials of earthly existence.

Alcorn emphasizes that while death may hold a sense of finality, for Christians, it is merely a passage to a far greater existence. He views the day of resurrection as not just a moment of personal triumph but as a monumental event that will reflect God's glory in an extraordinary way. This portrayal of the New Earth as a place of ultimate joy, where suffering and death no longer exist, instills a deep sense of anticipation for what lies ahead for believers.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.

You say you're 'depressed' - all i see is resilience. You are allowed to feel messed up and inside out. It doesn't mean you're defective - it just means you're human.
