2 Corinthians 5:25

                          WHAT IS HEAVEN LIKE?

The apostle John describes in detail what heaven is like in Revelation. It is so wonderful that God has told us how beautiful heaven is. Do you want to know what heaven is like? Then read what John wrote about heaven.

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I 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. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

“And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

“And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.

“And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie....

“And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. 
(Revelation 21:1-4, 23.25.27 and 22:1-5)  

Let’s thank God that He loves us so much that He’s prepared a wonderful place for us to be forever. Do you know the way to heaven?

Thought: How is heaven lit up?
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You that You have prepared a wonderful place for us to live in forever because You love us. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.
