God created time and space and is therefore not bound by the limits of time and space as we are. When we live with him in heaven, we will be as He is in that we will live for eternity... without the presence and limits of time.
2 Timothy 1:9
9 He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,
Titus 1:2
2 in the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time,
Hebrews 1:2 (Amplified Bible)
2. [But] in the last of these days He has spoken to us in [the person of a] Son, Whom He appointed Heir and lawful Owner of all things, also by and through Whom He created the worlds and the reaches of space and the ages of time [He made, produced, built, operated, and arranged them in order].
Revelation 21 identifies our destination as the “new heaven and new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. . . .” It goes on to describe the Holy City, the New Jerusalem's features which reveal that familiar physical laws exist no more.
In Rev. 21 God also gives a preview of the fulfillment of Romans 8:22-23. The whole “groaning” creation—its time and space, matter and energy, and “we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit”—receives deliverance from “bondage to decay". The passage would seem to suggest, then, that the deliverance applies even to the physical laws, which began in effect at the cosmic creation event. They are, thus, finite and the One who created them brings them to an end as soon as their purpose is fulfilled.
God has promised to His believers a reward far beyond what anyone, no matter how spiritual or imaginative, can conceive.
