1 | What does heaven look like? | 1 Cor 2:9 | Mommapbs | 145183 | ||
Forgive me for my offense - it was not meant to be a judgmental or an "off the wall comment" but rather an attempt to prompt a consideration of how the things of this world have so captured our minds and hearts (perhaps especially of those who are dying) that we can not see the glory of the eternal. Even the dying need to be encouraged to let go of "this life" for indeed it will be taken from them. The better question is are they the ones for whom God has prepared a place? The place (heaven)is a sure thing - their faith is perhaps not. Telling a person what heaven is like imo is inappropriate if they have no hope of being there when they leave this earth. Jesus called us to REPENT - repent because the "wages of sin is death - eternal separation from God. Heaven is where God is - that should be enough for any believer. Encouraging for the dying should be to focus their attention on the peace they have or can have with God through Christ. Faith alone, nothing that they do will bring this and that is all they need to face the door to eternity. Those who die without peace are to be most pitied; for no Jesus, no peace. My two cents.

2 | What does heaven look like? | 1 Cor 2:9 | Aixen7z4 | 145185 | ||
"Heaven is where God is". Yes! John heard a great voice out of heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God". We usesd to sing, "Where Jesus is, 'tis heaven there" and it seems appropriate, because he said, "I go and prepare a place for you, (and) I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also". Whereas some say that hell is here, we may counter that heaven is here as well, because Jesus is with us, and in us. See Luke 17:21. I trust those who read this are his and that you find a heaven in his presence, as in Psalm 16:11, for in his presence is fulness of joy; at his right hand there are pleasures for evermore. We may describe heaven by listing what and who will be there, primarily Jesus. We may aslo describe it by listing what and who will not be there: No sin, no sorrow, no pain, no death; but primarily, no devil. Amen. |
