What is heaven like? Are there pearly gates? What do we do in heaven? We've all asked these questions before and have had our own ideas about what heaven is like, but what is it REALLY like? Last night, Jonathan Clark kicked off our new series, "Paradise," to jump head-first into the book of Revelation to see what it has to say about what heaven is like. Here's 5 truths about heaven that will change your life: 1. Heaven is physically new (Rev 21:1) Heaven is a physical place, not clouds in the sky. 2. Heaven is prepared (Rev 21:2) God knows all of us better than we know ourselves, and the Lord has prepared heaven, especially for YOU. 3. Heaven is the place of God's presence (Rev 21:3) Heaven will NOT be boring. We will be in the very PRESENCE of God. 4. Heaven is a place of healing (Rev 21:4) In heaven, there's no heartache, no pain, no disease, no sin. God will be there to wipe the tears from our eyes because He loves us. 5. Heaven is our home (Rev 21:5-7) Heaven is not just God's home, it's OURS as well. We can not enter into heaven through our own works due to the corruption of sin (Ephesians 2:8-9), but luckily we don't have to. The life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ allows us to enter heaven! Believing in Christ's works and confessing that He is Lord is what gets us to heaven (Romans 10:9)! If you do not know where you will go when you die, today can be the day when you are finally sure by confessing Jesus Christ as Lord! See y'all next week at Paradigm!
