During eternal life, you will reach perfection, you will have no flaws.
What Life in Paradise Will Be Like
Resurrection of the dead
“The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.”—John 5:28, 29.
A mother and her resurrected child in Paradise
“There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.”—Acts 24:15.
No more sickness, old age, or death
“At that time the eyes of the blind ones will be opened, and the very ears of the deaf ones will be unstopped. At that time the lame one will climb up just as a stag does, and the tongue of the speechless one will cry out in gladness.”—Isaiah 35:5, 6.
“God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”—Revelation 21:3, 4.
Plenty of good things to eat
“The earth itself will certainly give its produce; God, our God, will bless us.”—Psalm 67:6.
People harvesting grapes in Paradise
“There will come to be plenty of grain on the earth; on the top of the mountains there will be an overflow.”—Psalm 72:16.
Suitable homes and enjoyable work for all
“They will certainly build houses and have occupancy, and they will certainly plant vineyards and eat their fruitage. They will not build and someone else have occupancy; they will not plant and someone else do the eating.”—Isaiah 65:21, 22.
No more crime, violence, or war
“As regards the wicked, they will be cut off from the very earth.”—Proverbs 2:22.
“They will have to beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war anymore.”—Isaiah 2:4.
Freedom from fear, and peace everywhere
“They will actually dwell in security, with no one to make them tremble.”—Ezekiel 34:28.
“They will not do any harm or cause any ruin in all my holy mountain; because the earth will certainly be filled with the knowledge of Jehovah as the waters are covering the very sea.”—Isaiah 11:9.
What a pleasure it will be to live when such conditions prevail everywhere on earth, when everyone loves God and shows love for fellow humans! (Matthew 22:37-39) You can be sure that all the promises of God will then be fulfilled. “I have even spoken it,” God says, “I shall also do it.”—Isaiah 46:11.
There are many things you may yet need to learn about Jehovah God and his promised new world. For example, what evidence is there that this new world is near at hand? How will God’s Kingdom replace all the governments of the earth? And what events will lead up to its doing so? Jehovah’s Witnesses will be happy to help you to examine such questions.

Man’s many years of yearning for a new world of righteousness are almost over. For the vast majority of humans who have died, death is not the end. Another life is not merely possible—it is God’s will. There truly is life beyond the grave! Yes, it is “the real life,” the one “which is to come.”—1 Timothy 4:8; 6:19.
