Bible Question: how did the church get to heaven |
Bible Answer: Big Bird The entire church isn't in heaven yet. Only those saints that have died and gone on to glory are there. The rest of the church is awaiting the return of Jesus Christ to lead them to heaven. There are differences of opinion of exactly when this will take place. Some believe it will preceded the actual return of Jesus in what is known as the Rapture that they see in 1 Thess 4:16. Others believe the two events are one and the same. In any case we know Jesus is going to return and when He does we also are assured that we will be ushered into the presence of God which will be heaven. |
