Heaven....
Heaven...What's It Like?
A few years ago I wrote a simple little book called 'Heaven' and its reality...
The Bible makes it clear that....Heaven is a place on the map of God.
It's within the realm of the actual.
It doesn't float around in some ethereal dream world.
It's not a DisneyWorld.
It is REAL and in contrast with earth, it is STABLE, SECURE, PERMANENT, and...ETERNAL.
Heaven is a PREPARED PLACE for a PREPARED PEOPLE....
It is for those WHO HAVE MADE RESERVATIONS HERE.
John 3:16 makes this clear.....
Will we know each other in Heaven?
Certainly!......
(Read Mark 9:1-5 John immediately recognized Moses and Elijah, though they had lived 900 years before....)
If anything, we'll know each other BETTER.
We NOW recognize people by how they look - their outward appearance;
but THEN THE RECOGNITION WILL BE OF WHAT THEY ARE -
we'll see beyond the externals INTO THE TRUE CHARACTER OF THE PERSON.
Since our bodies will be raised to house our spirits, there will probably be some resemblance to our past life. Jesus was able to prove the reality of His Resurrection by HIS crucifixion scars....
......and yet....WE WILL BE DIFFERENT... (1 Corn. 15:40-44)
Since our resurrected body will be designed for a NEW DIMENSION, it will NOT be limited by SPACE and TIME, and like Jesus' body, will pass through matter. (John 20:26) and probably move through space WITH THE SPEED OF THOUGHT...
How old will we be?
Since there is no time in eternity, THERE IS NO AGE!
Age....implies.....aging, and that is something we will NEVER do in Heaven. (1 Corn. 15:53)
All of the above is just a few excerpts from my little book called, Heaven....
To get the full picture in a very simple way.....there is a web-site that tells it in an exciting and beautiful but simple format which impresses me tremendously....

My today's devotion reminded me of this when I read In 2 Corn. 5:(MB)....."The Spirit of God whets our appetite by giving us a taste of what's ahead. He puts a little of Heaven in our hearts so that we'll never settle for less....That's why we live with such Good Cheer..."
that's why we can say...NO MATTER WHAT....It IS a GOOD Life!
