Churches of Christ affirm that heaven is the eternal dwelling of the redeemed. After the final resurrection and judgment, those who are in Christ will enter into eternal life in God's presence. The specific nature of the eternal state — whether a renewed earth or a purely heavenly realm — is not a major point of detailed teaching in most Churches of Christ, but the reality of eternal life with God is universally affirmed.

The hope of heaven reinforces Churches of Christ's emphasis on faithful living, church attendance, and obedient discipleship in the present life. The promise of eternal reward is a constant theme in preaching and teaching.
