Heaven

Genesis 1:1. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

We see that the heavens were created by God. The Hebrew word used here for God is Elohim, which means ‘Gods’. Elohim is a plural noun that shows us that more than one person is indicated by the word God. God, the Father; God, the Son; and God, the Holy Spirit. We see three Gods, one in unity. Each with their own purpose. All were present at creation.

Where is it?

The heavens ……. there are more than one. The Bible refers to three heavens.

1. The clouds or atmospheric heavens…this is where water is stored in the clouds for rain. This is where birds and planes fly.

2. The starry space…where stars and constellations are between planet earth and planet Heaven.

3. The planet Heaven… this is where God lives; and also where believers in Jesus will spend eternity when our time on earth is over.

What is Heaven like?

Heaven is comfortable in every way.

John 14:2-3 In My Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so I would have told you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Heaven’s residents will never be sick or upset, hungry or thirsty. It is a beautiful place. A crystal clear river flows from God’s throne, and God Himself will give Heaven its light.

How do I get there?

Romans 10:9-10. Tells us how!

“If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.”

John 14:6

“Jesus said, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

The answer is clear from the Bible …..there is ONLY one way to Heaven. Jesus, is His name! Believe and receive Him as your Savior and Lord.

Who else will be in Heaven? Heaven is the home of those who have believed and received Jesus as their Savior. The Bible indicates that we will know each other in Heaven. How comforting, to be with loved ones for eternity.

If you haven’t believed in Jesus, I pray today will be the day to make the best decision of your life.
