WHAT IS HEAVEN GOING TO BE LIKE?

There is one thing for certain. When we get there, we will have a lot of surprises, John Newton, the writer of Amazing Grace, said he expects to find three wonders in heaven.

First, he will be surprised to see people there he didn’t expect to see. Second, he will miss some people he expected to be there, but were not there. The greatest wonder of all is that he was there.

Billy Graham, again in his recent book, writes, the Bible tells us at least five important truths about Heaven.

Heaven is glorious-it is the dwelling place of God.
Heaven is perfect-all sorrow, death etc. no longer exists Heaven is joyous-Reunion of loved ones and meeting of Bible characters, a new body, all of our questions answered, we will meet Jesus, and be overawed talking with the creator of every thing in the universe.
Heaven is active, in that we will participate in Christ’s rule over all creation.
Heaven is certain-only one thing will keep you out of Heaven and that is your sin.
