Deuteronomy 8:6-10:
Therefore, you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God, to walk in His ways and to fear Him.
For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, flowing forth in valleys and hills; a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey; a land where you will eat food without scarcity, in which you will not lack anything; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you can dig copper. When you have eaten and are satisfied, you shall bless the LORD your God for the good land which He has given you.
If you choose to believe and be righteous and pleasing in God’s eyes, maybe you’ll get the opportunity to go to the land flowing with milk and honey. A place where the grass is green, the sky is blue, and the weather is cool and comfortable. A place where you don’t have to suffer, be miserable, depressed, or unhappy, a place where you see goodness, righteousness, peace, and joy. A place where you lack nothing, where you never have to starve or thirst, where you have everything you need at all times. A place that is like Paradise and Eden, a place called Heaven.
