9 Biblical Facts About Heaven

What is heaven?

Heaven is the final dwelling place of the saints after physical death on earth.

    In John 14:2, Jesus says.......

      “In my Father's house, there are mansions; I go to prepare a place for you...”

If you can remember, Jesus also promised the thief at the cross, paradise, because the thief pleaded for mercy from Jesus at the cross.

Luke 23:43....“Today shall thou be with me in paradise”

So, heaven is the place where God, Jesus Christ, the Holy angels and the redeemed saints dwell.

Here are 9 Biblical Facts the Lord revealed to me about heaven:

   FACT 1: In Matthew 6:20, Christ advises and admonishes us to lay up for ourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, where thieves do not break through not still; Heaven is the safest place to store up treasures without fear of them being stealing or corrupted.

  FACT 2: Revelation 21 and 22 tells about the beauty of heaven, and how the evil ones; like murderers, whoremongers and sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, will not partake in the beauty of heaven.

  FACT 3: In 2 Corinthians 5:1, Paul teaches us that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved (means if we die in the physical form), we have a building of God, an house not made with hands and eternal in the heavens. If we die in the physical, our souls and spirits are alive in the heavenly realm with Christ, in paradise. But to receive such blessing, one must give his life to Christ and live according to the commands Jesus gave us through His disciples (Mt 28:19-20).

 FACT 4: In Luke 20:35-36, Jesus admonishes us that in the world to come, we will be like the angels;

 “....but they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead(rapture) neither marry not are given in marriage, neither can they die anymore, for they are equal into the angels”.

 FACT 5: Revelation 7:13-17 explains that the great multitude from the great tribulation were taken to heaven after they have been killed by the Antichrist, because they held on to their testimonies and refused to accept the mark of worship of the beast by the Antichrist.

      

      Furthermore, the moment they were killed, their souls went straight up to paradise to receive their rewards (which is to be with Christ).

 FACT 6: 1 Corinthians 15:26,54- In heaven, there is no death or sorrow, death only reigned on earth because of sin and iniquity. But when dies here, even as a righteous man, he will be saved in heaven where there is no death or weeping.

Does a righteous man die because of sin or because he is wicked? Neither!

Also, a righteous man must die in the physical; it's appointed into men once to die (Heb 9:27)

WHY?

Because God has declared that man must return to dust (Gen 3:19).

This is why even a good man must pay the death price, so as to fulfil the command God has given. This is also why Jesus Christ came to save us from the spiritual death (hell), but all, whether good or bad, must pass through the physical death.

    However, in heaven, there is nothing like death.  For, there, is the place the Father dwells. It is holy and pure ;that is why there is no death there.

Note: The only thing that made death to reign in the physical was SIN. Sin is the promoter of death here .

  FACT 7: In Mt 13:43, Jesus preaches about the saints shining forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father,“.....the saints will shine like the sun in heaven”. Just like in the mountain of transfiguration, when Jesus appeared in His glory in the presence of His disciples; Moses and Elijah also appeared with Him.

 When the disciples saw them, they were afraid because Moses and Elijah were like angels in heaven.

  This shows that those who will make heaven will shine like the sun in heaven.

 Isn't that wonderful?!

  FACT 8: In the book of Romans 8:17, Paul teaches us the importance of being children of God. He says that if we suffer with Christ, we will be or made glorified with Him.

  FACT 9: Also, Philippians 3:21, tells us that Christ will change our vile body and fashion it like His glorious body Remember, flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God.

  

  And that's all!

Heaven is where righteousness and purity dwells. For one to be a candidate of heaven, one must be holy, righteous, pure and above all, have the love and mercy of God.
