Daily life with Jesus by Grahame Howard: What will Heaven be like?

"Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3And 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. 4And 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 21:1-4. NKJV

What will heaven be like? We can read all about in Revelation but, some people find it hard to understand all of the facts. One things for sure, Heaven for the Christian will be a place of glorious life that will never end. Joy inexpressible, limitless peace, pure love, beauty beyond description—that's what heaven is. Greatest of all will be the presence of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, with whom we will enjoy fellowship forever. I wonder what that will be like?

Billy Graham wrote: “Heaven will be a place in which its inhabitants will be freed from the fears and insecurities that plague and haunt us in the present life. No energy crisis there … Free from the economic and financial pressures that burden us down here. Free from the fear of personal and physical harm … No fear of personal failure … Our relationship with Him will be intimate and direct. I’m looking forward to that glorious day of going to heaven. “Heaven will be what we have always longed for. It will be the new social order that men dream of. All the things that have made earth unlovely and tragic will be absent in heaven. There will be no night, no death, no disease, no sorrow, no tears, no ignorance, no disappointment, no war. It will be filled with happiness, worship, love, and perfection.A renewed creation."

At this moment, Christ dwells in the heavenly city with the believers who have died (John 14:2-3). In Revelation 21:2, John sees the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down to earth out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. This city will become the capitol of the new creation known as the new Jerusalem, and God will dwell with His people (21:3).

All sadness, hurt and disappointment will be no more as we will live with Jesus.
The city the New Jerusalem:
The city of New Jerusalem is described as coming down to this new Earth, a city of pure gold with gates of pearl and foundations of precious stones.
There will be no sun or moon:
The city will not need a sun or moon because the glory of God will provide the light.
The Tree of Life:
A river of the water of life will flow through the city, and the Tree of Life will grow on either side, bearing fruit and healing leaves for the inhabitants.

Now this sounds
absolutely wonderful and all of us who believe in Jesus as our Lord will

be part of it.

Hallelujah
