I've always considered this one of those faith statements that Paul makes - it isn't true yet, but it will happen so we'll state it as if it already has happened. But, then I was thinking about God and time.
God is outside of time, He sees the end from the beginning. So for Him we are not yet created, currently living our sinful lives here on this world and also living on the New Earth with Him. All at the same time.
(The way I see it time is like a swimming pool, God sits on the edge of the pool and He can see all of everything that has happened, is happening and will happen. When we ask Him, He dips His fingers into a particular portion of the time puddle to intervene in the events of our lives. We on the other hand are like ants crawling along a twisted piece of string. We can only see what is directly in front of us or remember what is behind us.)
This means that in God's world I'm already in Heaven with Him. Living in Heavenly Places!!
