Heaven

Revelation 21

If a friend asked me the question, “What is Heaven like,” I would respond to them by saying that it is forever being in the presence of God. I would read to them vs. 3 and 4, “And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be his people, and God himself will be among them, and he will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.” A God that is so Holy in other parts of scripture it is impossible to even see in his presence will not only dwell among us but we will be his people. In being the people of God we will be cared for by someone who conquered and defeated death, mourning, crying, and pain. This action of conquering wasn’t simply for the purpose of freeing us fore freedom sake but it was freeing us for the sake of God himself. God wants us to be his people, he wants to dwell among us and he wants to wipe the tears from our eyes. Heaven is where there is a God who longs to dwell with his people.
