Welcome to today's face-to-face episode titled "What is Heaven?"

Many envision Heaven as the ultimate abode, where love abounds, desires are fulfilled sans government interference or taxes, and even the neighbor's dog refrains from incessant barking. Smiles are ubiquitous, and accolades flow freely, creating a euphoric earthly paradise. However, this perception is a far cry from the truth.

Heaven is the very essence of God, unchanging across eternity. God, synonymous with selfless love, is revealed in Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son, in whom we place our trust. Heaven is where God is, and aligning with His will becomes our joy. Our actions mirror His in heaven, even if it means sacrificing personal desires for His greater purpose. It's a realm where selflessness prevails.

Excitement in heaven isn't derived from accumulating for oneself but from giving selflessly, mirroring God's love. The prospect of abandoning personal desires for His divine will defines heaven's bliss. If we have that attitude now, we share in His bliss.
