WILL WE SEE OUR PETS IN HEAVEN?

Will Rogers said if there are not dogs in Heaven, then I want to go where they went.

Famous Christian authors who believe that pets go to heaven include: C. S. Lewis, Peter Kreeft, Sylvia Brown, Niki Behrikis Shanahan, James Herriot, and dozens and dozens of others; the list of Christian pastors, theologians, and clergy is too long to list here. Suffice it to say that a lot of Christians believe that pets do go to heaven.

But what about our current pets.  As for me, I believe that God will restore our beloved pets for us in Heaven, not because they have souls, but for our pleasure. As Alcorn writes, “If we believe God is their Creator, that He loves us and them, that He intends to restore His creatures from the bondage they experienced because of our sin, then we have biblical grounds for not only wanting but expecting that we may be with them again on the New Earth.”

Jesus said, “All things are possible to him who believes!” If you believe that, then get ready for one big old animal reunion in Heaven.
