Key Scripture — 1 Peter 1:4: “an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you” (NKJV) 📖 Read in NKJV
What this chapter says
Tozer defends the reality of heaven against the corrosive effect of modern scientific relativism, tracing how Copernicus’ and Einstein’s discoveries were popularly misused to make heaven seem naive or unreal. His answer is simple: the God who could create this earth and populate it can just as easily prepare another dwelling place for His redeemed. He closes by reminding readers that Christians are, in Christ, “nobly rich” — heirs of an eternal inheritance that needs no apology and no hiding.
Reflect
What modern ideas make it hard for you to hold on to hope in a literal, promised heaven?
