“Hope in Heaven”

So many unbelievers have questions about Heaven. Questions such as, where is Heaven? Is Heaven a real place? What is Heaven like? My question to the believer is, are you prepared to help an unbeliever understand this place we call Heaven.

Heaven is a place that we as believers put all of our hope. But if you were to ask some Christian to take you in the Bible where it speaks about this place they would have no clue where to go. I believe it’s important for use to know what the Word says about this place we will spend eternity, after all we will be there a very long time :-). In this short but much needed blog concerning Heaven, it is my hope to help us understand Heaven a little bit better.

There are tons of scriptures that can help us to understand Heaven. In the New Testament alone, the word “Heaven” is found 276 times.

Most of us know heaven as the place of “No Mores”. Revelation 21:4 “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." But there is so much more to Heaven then what he will do for us. Let’s see what we will do for Him. Revelation 22:3 “No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him”. Isn’t that a great thought, we will be able to Worship God without the curse of sin! There won’t be anything to cloud our vision, we will for the first time be able to see God face to face. 1 Corinthians 13:12 “Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.” Anyone that tells you they have seen Gods face is not telling the truth. Not even Moses was granted access to see Gods face, only his back. Exodus 33:20 "You cannot see My face, for no man can see Me and live!" So I find great joy in knowing that one day I will see God face to face.

Not only will we be able to see God face to face, we will also be able to behold this beautiful place that he dwells. I can’t even imagine how beautiful Heaven will be. Revelation Chapter 21 does a great job explaining what heaven will look like, but even after reading it I can’t imagine its beauty. I mean seriously there will be no sun or the moon to shine on it, God will give off its light. And there is no temple in Heaven because God the father and his Son Jesus Christ are its temples. There will also be twelve gates and twelve angels at the gates, I hope Archangel Michael is at my gate I will be starstruck :-).

So I ask you, have you secured the hottest ticket in town? As Toby Mac said do you have your ticket to ride to the other side? Well there is only one way to get a ticket, and that is by believing in Christ Jesus. John 14:6 “Jesus answered, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me”. I want to see all of you in Heaven, there is still room! So I beg you, give your life to Christ, if you haven’t all ready!
