What does the Bible say about paradise?

Answered in 5 sources

Paradise is the promised place of eternal life with Christ, as indicated by Jesus when He told the thief on the cross, 'Today thou shalt be with me in paradise.'

Paradise, in the biblical context, refers to the dwelling place of the righteous after death, characterized by eternal communion with Christ. In Luke 23:43, when Jesus reassures the repentant thief, saying, 'Today thou shalt be with me in paradise,' He signifies the immediate and eternal joy that awaits believers. This promise reflects the ultimate restoration that is part of God’s redemptive plan through Christ’s sacrifice. Further references to paradise can also be found in 2 Corinthians 12, where Paul speaks of being caught up to paradise, and in Revelation 2:7, which mentions the tree of life in the midst of the paradise of God, symbolizing eternal life and fellowship with Christ.
