When We All Get to Heaven

The New Heaven and the New Earth


God has established an eternal home for His children where there will be no sickness or dying. Former sorrows will not be remembered as His children spend eternity in His presence, rejoicing in the New Jerusalem.

Can you imagine a holy city? It will be a community where no one lied, no shady business deals were ever discussed, no unclean movies or pictures were seen. The New Jerusalem will be holy because everyone in it will be holy. Whatever discouraging or dark thoughts enter our minds today will be erased. — Escape the Coming Night

What Will We Do in Heaven?

We will never grow bored! We will sing (Revelation 15:3-5). Those who could never carry a tune on earth will be able to sing in heaven and never grow weary of exalting the name of the King of Kings. We’ll serve perfectly, enabled by the power that is able to conform all things to the pleasure of His sov­ereign will (Revelation 1:1; Revelation 7:3; Revelation 10:7; Revelation 11:18; Revelation 15:3; Revelation 19:5; Revelation 22:6). We’ll share unbroken fellowship (Revelation 19:9, Hebrews 12:22-24) with angels, members of the Church, God, Jesus, and the spirits of just men made perfect.

Never again will we have to say good-bye to a loved one or give a farewell party.

God has different things for different people to do. God made each of us unique with a special ministry and responsibility. Each of us in our own right has a purpose and design for what God has called us to do. There are many distinct groups in Heaven, all unique in their responsibility before God. For instance, the twenty-four elders are crowned, enthroned, and seated (Revelation 4:10; Revelation 11:16). The 144,000 from the Tribulation have no crowns or thrones and are standing up and singing a song that no one else knows (Revelation 14:3). The song of the 144,000 sounds like great rushing waters and loud peals of thunder. It is joy filled (Revelation 14:2).

When we get to Heaven, we are going to praise God in every conceivable way.

Everyday Holy

The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.  — Genesis 12:1-2   Sometimes when circumstances get too big or seem to be different from what I want, doubts start creeping in.  What if this isn’t the right thing? What if I heard God wrong? What if I’ve made a huge mistake? What if I’m totally screwing up my child and she ends up living in a van down by the river? I get scared. I realize this doesn’t make me different from anyone else. We all like to feel in control of every aspect of our lives, and it’s hard to surrender that control. It’s hard to say, “I trust You” — no matter what. One of the few constants in life is that things will always change. And I, like many others, hate change. It leaves me feeling unsettled, unsure, and insecure as I try to find new footing in different c...

Very Great in the Little Things

This God is our God. — Psalm 48:14 “God is great in great things, but very great in little things,” says Henry Dyer. A party stood on the Matterhorn admiring the sublimity of the scene, when a gentleman produced a pocket microscope and having caught a fly, placed it under the glass. He reminded us that the legs of the household fly in England are naked, then called attention to the legs of this little fly which were thickly covered with hair; thus showing that the same God who made the lofty Swiss mountain attended to the comfort of His tiniest creatures, even providing socks and mittens for the little fly whose home these mountains were. This God is our God! A doubting soul beheld a robin’s nest in a gigantic elm and heard a still small voice saying, “If God spent a hundred years in creating a tree like that for a bird, He will surely take care of you.” God is so interested that He takes us one by one and arranges for every detail of our life. To Him, there are no ...
