Heaven and hell are real places. In the beginning God created the heavens, the earth, and many other things including Adam and Eve. Everything he created was Good. However, some things God created [the angels] chose to do evil. Adam and Eve follow God for a while but eventually sinned and were separated from his grace. The garden in which they lived was also separated from his complete harmony. While this earth began to be infested with evil, as it still is today, God's home remained in complete harmony with him. This place of no sin and death we call heaven. It is a perfect and beautiful dwelling for all who love and obey God. Jesus along with all of the angels and saints have a home here. It is a place without sickness or death. It is a real place where everyone who wants to go there will live in peace and harmony with everyone and everything. It is what this earth was designed to be before sin entered the world. It is the place where all who love Jesus will go after death. Sin, sickness, and every kind of evil was not God's plan for us. They are what happened when disobedience changed God's plan for us. Heaven is the restoration of God's perfect desires for all who chose to follow Him!
