When a person dies today, and they don’t know Jesus, their soul and spirit goes to hades. Jesus said to his disciples, “do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven” ( Luke 10:20). Your name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life if you “confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead” ( Romans 10:9). Only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life will go to heaven. Whatever decisions we make about eternity will be made here and now on earth. That is not true-purgatory does not exist. The concept of purgatory says you can go to a holding place after death where you have the possibility of changing your eternal destiny. In His presence is the completeness and absolute explosion of joy! Heaven is God’s place and God is not boring, so I am confident we will not be bored. Our God is not boring-how then can heaven be boring? Psalm 16:11 says “You will show me the path of life in your presence is fullness of joy, and at your right hand are pleasures forevermore” (emphasis mine). When we get to heaven, we will continue to serve God with the gifts He has given us. I’m thankful, because I would struggle with a heaven where there is nothing to do. And He who sits on the throne will dwell among them” (emphasis mine). For example, Revelation 7:15 says: “Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple. The concept of serving God in heaven reoccurs throughout the book of Revelation. You will never suffer disease or age or death. But our resurrection bodies are incorruptible. Our current body is subject to aging, disease, and death. The first thing Paul teaches us about our resurrected bodies in 1 Corinthians 15 is that it is not like our current body. What Will Our Resurrected Bodies be Like? And we will have a real body in heaven.Ģ. Jesus tells us in Luke 24:39 that His body is real: “… handle me and see for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have.” Jesus’ body was real. Just like we currently bear the image of Adam, we will one day bear the image of Jesus, and have a body like Him. Does Jesus Have a Physical Body in Heaven? Jeremiah, just click the link on an individual question).ġ. In the following excerpts from my messages, I point you to a handful of these Scriptures and answer 11 questions about heaven. The Bible provides more than 600 references to heaven, and we can gain incredible joy and fresh vision for our lives on earth as we read and understand these passages. Heaven is not just our far-off future home, but a place we can joyfully look forward to today.
