What does the Bible say about the contrast between life on earth and heaven?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that life on earth is partial and limited, while heaven is complete and filled with the fullness of God's presence.
In 1 Corinthians 13:10, the Apostle Paul explains that while we experience life in part on earth, when perfection comes, the partial will pass away. This emphasizes that life on earth is a mere glimpse of what awaits believers in heaven, where we will fully understand and experience God’s love and glory. The contrasts drawn illustrate our current state of knowing in part—through faith, hope, and spiritual gifts—compared to the complete knowledge and perfect love that believers will experience in heaven, where all things will be made new.
