What does Revelation say about the eternal state of the Church?

Answered in 1 source

Revelation describes the Church's eternal state as a holy city, signifying purity and the presence of God’s glory.

In Revelation 21, the Church is portrayed as the New Jerusalem, a holy city descending from heaven, which represents the culmination of God's redemptive plan for His people. This city is described as having the glory of God and standing in stark contrast to earthly cities because it is purified by the blood of Christ. It embodies unity, equality, and the perfect presence of God, serving as a promise of eternal fellowship for believers. The twelve gates symbolizing the tribes of Israel speak to the inclusiveness of God's salvation, making it accessible to people from every nation, further emphasizing the Church's role in God's eschatological plan.
