When Lions Eat Straw

God promises believers a new heaven and new earth where all pain, sorrow, and death will be eliminated forever. This isn't a cloudy afterlife but a real, physical world where we'll have meaningful work, perfect relationships, and complete harmony with others. Unlike our current world filled with suffering and frustration, this new creation will offer purposeful activities without any wasted effort or conflict. Jesus has already secured this future through his sacrifice on the cross, making this promise absolutely certain for all who trust in him.
