I am afraid that many people will see this through the escapist theology of leaving earth and going-off to heaven when they die. But I am not sure the statement will stand in that setting. I think the only way you can adopt such a position is if you grab hold of God's plan to renew the heavens and the earth - that is the only way any experience of earth could be connected to an experience of heaven. The two are intended to come together in perfect existence. Otherwise, I think the statement fails to be logical.
