Of course heaven is a place. God's people are to have future existence, and it is impossible to live without having location. As long and as surely as we are individuals, we are to have a locality in which our individual existence is to be experienced. If people become too vague and misty to conceive of locality in connection with the heavenly life, they are liable to become unbelieving and uncertain as to the continuance of their own personal identity. We believe that God is to continue His people in self-conscious identity, and that He is to give them assurance of their continued personality in a real and delightful environment.—Herald and Presbyter.
