What is heaven like?

Isaiah 65:17“Look! I am creating new heavens and a new earth, and no one will even think about the old ones anymore.

Philippians 3:21He will take these weak mortal bodies of ours and change them into glorious bodies like his own . . .

James 1:17Whatever is good and perfect comes to us from God above, who created all heaven’s lights.

Revelation 21:3-4I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, the home of God is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them. He will remove all of their sorrows, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. For the old world and its evils are gone forever.”

Revelation 22:5And there will be no night there—no need for lamps or sun—for the Lord God will shine on them. And they will reign forever and ever.

Heaven is far beyond anything we can imagine. In heaven we will live forever with God. There will be no sadness, no pain, no evil, no death. Everything will be perfect and glorious. God will give us new bodies and we will be able to talk face to face with the Lord Himself.

1 John 3:2Dear friends, we are already God’s children, but he has not yet shown us what we will be like when Christ appears. But we do know that we will be like him, for we will see him as he really is.

Revelation 21:4He will remove all of their sorrows, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. For the old world and its evils are gone forever.”

You will one day be like Christ. You will not be equal to him in power and authority, but you will be like him in character and perfection, for there will be no sin in those who are welcomed into heaven. In heaven you will never hurt, cry, have pain, or experience sorrow. Evil will be gone forever.
