And so we will be with the Lord forever.
1Thessalonians 4.17
That’s an easy one. Forever! One of the most famous verses in the Bible says this: “God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.”(John 3.16) The word eternal means something that will never end. Jesus promised that he was going to prepare a place for us. He said, “I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am.”(John 14.3)
Here’s the hard part. We can’t begin to get our brains to understand the fact that we will live in heaven always and forever. But we can get this much, eternal life isn’t just about having lungs that work for a really long time. It’s about having a heart that will love forever the Lord of the universe, your best friend, Jesus.
Think of the best moments you have had as a family. That’s just a little taste of what heaven might be like. What makes heaven even better is that God himself will be there, and he will make it a place we will enjoy being forever and forever.
Read Revelation 21.3-4 “I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, ‘Look the home of God is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them. He will remove all of their sorrows, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. For the old world and its evils are gone forever.’ “ Heaven isn’t just about eternal life. It’s about eternal love and happiness.
