Either we live our Christian life in the first heaven by faith, or we do not.
(Rom 1:17 KJV) For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
The Bible is absolutely clear on the subject of faith. We are justified [just as if we hadn’t sinned] because of Christ in us.
