What Is Heaven Like? - With God Forever

If heaven is real, what is it like? I've never met a Christian who didn't want to know the answer to this question--including me! Even Jesus' disciples wondered; immediately after He taught them about heaven, Thomas protested, "Lord, we don't know where you are going" (John 14:5).

The Bible doesn't answer all our questions about heaven and what it will be like--because heaven is far more glorious than anything we can imagine. Heaven is like the most perfect and beautiful place we can conceive--only more so. Only in heaven will we know exactly what heaven is like. The writer of Revelation, searching for words to describe his glimpse of heaven's splendor, said that "it shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel. . . . The great street of the city was of pure gold, like transparent glass" (Revelation 21:11, 21). Paul wrote, "Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully" (1 Corinthians 13:12).

Nevertheless, the Bible doesn't leave us in the dark about heaven--and everything it tells us should make us want to go there. Let's look at four truths the Bible teaches about heaven and what will happen to us there.

First, the Bible says that in heaven we will be with God. Heaven is many things--but the most important is this: Heaven is God's dwelling place. It is the place where God lives! It's true that God is everywhere, but heaven is more than a place. It is a whole different dimension of existence, and God is in its midst, with Christ at His right hand. The Bible says, "We will be with the Lord forever" (1 Thessalonians 4:17).

Think of it: We will be with God forever! And because we will be with Him, we will be absolutely safe from all evil. Sorrow and suffering will never again touch us--never. One of the most moving passages in all the Bible is found in its next to last chapter: And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, 'Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away. (Revelation 21:3-4)
