Heaven Is?
How would you complete that sentence? Most of us have very different views about heaven. Many people don’t even believe there is a place called heaven. They believe you are born; you make the most of the cards dealt to you, and then comes nothing. How sad!
Most believe there is some form of existence after this life. I believe God put that truth in our minds. How else would we even think it. I am quite sure mice give no thought about what comes after their short life.
God created us for life after death and He has made us keenly aware of that fact. We call that eternal state, heaven. But what is heaven? Is heaven what we make it out to be, in our minds? Is heaven just a great retirement community where we get to do what we enjoy doing forever and ever. How long can you “enjoy” doing whatever you enjoy doing, a day, a week, a year, ten years, a hundred years. If all heaven is, is a giant retirement community it would get boring rather quickly.
Friends, heaven is a place, an actual physical place, that God has prepared for those that love Him. Heaven is where God will be with us and us with Him. The Bible describes heaven as a cube that is 1,500 miles high, wide, and deep. That cube could hold 100 billion people, each having 75 acres to themselves. That is a literal way of understanding Revelation 21:16.
Here is why you will want to be in heaven. “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.” 1 Corinthians 2:9 NKJV Heaven will be the perfect place to spend eternity because God made it.
