Heaven is an actual place, not just a state of mind, according to the Bible. The Bible provides some details about our eternal home, but not everything. Christians will experience blessing while they await the new heaven and the new earth that will be their ultimate dwelling place. In the new heaven and new earth, there will be no marriage, no procreation, and no night. Instead, people will be working and worshiping God, with responsibilities and fulfillment in doing so. The Bible says that people in heaven will be aware of what's happening on earth, but they will not experience grief or remorse when seeing loved ones in hell, as God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.
