As Christians, we look forward to eternity (forever and forever) with God in a special place that is beyond human comprehension. To give us a little taste of just how wonderful it will be here is a sample of what Scripture has to say about Heaven.
For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.
PHILLIPIANS 3:20-21 · NKJV
Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.
JOHN 1:12 · NKJV
The following verse tells us, in Jesus’s own words, what He has prepared for us. Here He uses the word mansion because, I’m convinced, He knew we all have a picture of what and earthly mansion is like.
Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.
JOHN 14:1-3 · NKJV
Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
Matthew 6:19-20 · NKJV
And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.
Revelation 21:3-4 · NKJV
But as it is written: “EYE HAS NOT SEEN, NOR EAR HEARD, NOR HAVE ENTERED INTO THE HEART OF MAN THE THINGS WHICH GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM.”
1CoRINTHIANS 2:9 · NKJV
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
RomANS 8:18 · NKJV
The Old Testament writers also looked forward to Jesus and spoke of Heaven prophetically.
So the ransomed of the LORD shall return, And come to Zion with singing, With everlasting joy on their heads. They shall obtain joy and gladness; Sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
