What Heaven Will Be
Like
|
This information is for people who think they are going to
heaven, who think their good deeds will outweigh their bad deeds and that God
will therefore grant them entrance to His eternal kingdom. Many such
people will want to run out of heaven, since it will be so foreign to them and
to their way of thinking. They will want to run from the King of Heaven if their
sins have not been forgiven and if their hearts have not been supernaturally
changed. |
| This is what it will be
like for those who end up in heaven: |
| BEAUTIFUL FELLOWSHIP with their blessed Redeemer -
Jesus Christ - who suffered and died for all their awful sins. |
| EXTREME JOY & GLADNESS that there will be no sin in
them or around them any longer, no more taking of our Lord's name in
vain, no more ungodly thoughts or speech or actions. |
| WONDERFUL COMPANIONSHIP with all the godly saints who
died before them, who love God and His laws as they do and who hate sin as
God hates it. |
| AWE & WONDER for the holiest Being in the Universe, God
Almighty, the Alpha and Omega, the Lord of Hosts, the King Of Glory, who
did something for man that man could never do for himself, pay the awful
penalty for sin that we could only pay if we were to spend eternity in
hell. |
| IMMENSE GRATITUDE for God's grace and mercy for having
saved them from eternal wrath in Hell at such a terrible price to Himself
- the sacrifice of His beloved Son, Jesus. |
| PREOCCUPATION WITH BEING IN THE PRESENCE OF such a
holy, righteous, and sinless Creator who came up with such a glorious plan
of salvation that showed His love and mercy in the most powerful way
imaginable. |
| PRAISE, WORSHIP AND SINGING to God about His incredible
love for saved sinners like them. |
| UNENDING THANKFULNESS for the opportunity to serve and
worship such a gracious God and Savior for all eternity. |

Do you think you will want to be in a heaven like this?
Do you think God will want you there? |
"And I beheld when he had opened the
sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as
sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of heaven fell
unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken
of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled
together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. And the
kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains,
and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the
dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks,
Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and
from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who
shall be able to stand?" [Revelation 6:9-17]
Friend, if God has not made you
ready for heaven, to the point where you long to be in a sin free world and in
permanent fellowship with a HOLY GOD who
hates sin, then you will be among those mentioned above who will be screaming
for the rocks to fall on you to hide you from God's wrath.
