What do we know about Heaven?

Scripture helps us to discover some of the beauty and wonder of Heaven. For example:
A place prepared for us: John 14:2, 3
Unlimited by physical properties (1 Cor. 15:35-49): John 20:19, 26
We will be like Jesus: 1 John 3:2
We will have new bodies: 1 Corinthians 15
A wonderful experience: 1 Corinthians 2:9
A new environment: Revelation 21:1
A new experience of God's presence (1 Cor. 13:12): Revelation 21:3
New emotions: Revelation 21:4
No more death: Revelation 21:4

The Bible devotes much less space to describing eternity than it does to convincing people that eternal life is available as a free gift from God. Most of the brief descriptions of eternity would be more accurately called hints, since they use terms and ideas from present experience to describe what we cannot fully grasp until we are there ourselves. These references hint at aspects of what our future will be like if we have accepted Christ's gift of eternal life. (Life Application Bible: What we know about Eternity)

So, what are YOU waiting for? Heaven is exclusive...you won't be able to just walk in. YOU have to make that choice before you die. HE is waiting for YOU...HIS arms are open wide, HIS eyes are longing for your face to turn toward HIM. Don't wait another moment. Take HIM into your heart and let HIM become LORD of YOUR life.
