WHAT IS HEAVEN LIKE?


• Present heaven (Philippians 1:23; Luke 16:19-31)

• Future heaven (1 Corinthians 15; Revelation 21:1-5).


Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,


prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people,


and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.


And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” Revelation 21:1-5


• Perfect bodies (1 Corinthians 15:35-58; Phil 3:21).


So it is with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable. It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.


It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. 1 Corinthians 15:42-44

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DIE?

[Jesus] will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself. Philippians 3:21



• Perfect relationships (1 Corinthians 13:12).


For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known. But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:12-13


The Lord of hosts will prepare a lavish banquet for all peoples on this mountain; a banquet of aged win, choice pieces with marrow, and refined, aged wine. Isaiah 25:6


“For my house will be called a house of prayer for all the peoples.” The Lord God, who gathers the dispersed of Israel, declares, “Yet others will I gather to them, to those already gathered.” Isaiah 56:7-8



• Perfect relationships (1 Corinthians 13:12). • Perfect surroundings (Romans 8:20-23;

Isaiah 11:6-9).


For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.


For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. Romans 8:20-22


And the wolf will dwell with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little boy will lead them. Also the cow and the bear will graze, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox.


The nursing child will play by the hole of the cobra, and the weaned child will put his hand on the viper’s den. They will not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. Isaiah 11:6-9



• Perfect relationships (1 Corinthians 13:12). • Perfect surroundings (Romans 8:20-23; Isaiah

11:6-9). • Perfect occupations (Rev 7:15; 22:3, 5).


They are before the throne of God; and they serve Him day and night in His temple. Revelation 7:15


His bondservants will serve Him…and they will reign forever and ever. Revelation 22:3, 5


• Place your hope in the kingdom of God. • Share the good news the heaven is

coming.
