What is heaven like?

We're all fascinated with the subject of heaven. We hope our loved ones who have died are there. We want to spend eternity there ourselves. What does God's word say about his home?

First, heaven is real. It is certain--no figment of religious imagination, no superstition, no "opiate of the people" (Karl Marx). John said, "I saw a new heaven and a new earth" (Revelation 21:1). Second, heaven is a place (vs. 1-2). John "saw" it. He didn't feel it, or dream of it, or hear about it. Third, heaven is where God is (v. 3). John reveals, "Now the dwelling of God is with men." When we get to heaven, we get to God. We spend eternity with our Father in heaven. Fourth, heaven is a blessed place (v. 4). Because God is there, all that is perfect is there as well.

What will we be like? Will we be angels? Will we know each other? For more on heaven, I invite you to godissues.com today.
