Heaven isn’t a fantasy. Imagine a place filled with love and full of glory. Visualizing a world without death, pain, and sin is hard. Because our society is ungodly, it’s easy for me to overlook God’s promise of heaven. Sometimes I focus on the sad state of the souls of unbelievers, and it blinds me from rejoicing in my permanent place in God’s home.

However, as Christians, our everlasting inheritance with God isn’t a fantasy but a reality. Indeed, God sacrificed His Son, Christ, for our security in heaven (John 3:16). It’s only in Jesus that the door to heaven opens (John 14:6).

What Will Heaven Look Like?

The book of Revelation answers this question. When Jesus appeared to Apostle John, He commanded him to write this book. Inside it is the blueprint of how God designed the new heaven. John, guided by the Holy Spirit, unearthed our Father’s house.

John wrote:

 And 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 21:4).

This scripture shows us that the new heaven eliminates, eradicates, and abolishes sin. It is an excellent description of a body purged from Satan’s constant effort to destroy one’s relationship with the Holy Trinity. This new consciousness of heaven replaces our sanctified bodies with one that gives God continuous glory. We will no longer have to fight against the flesh.

In our current spiritual condition, we live in a sanctified existence. We fall short of God’s glory (Romans 3:22-24). God saved us, but Christ has yet to return, and we still battle spiritual warfare (Ephesians 6:12).

Conclusion

As shown above, heaven is the essence of God’s undeniable love for His chosen ones. It highlights a total return to His grace and restores us to the Garden of Eden’s incredible connection with Him. This scripture is one of many showing us Heaven’s remarkable tangibility. A complete picture of this heightened extraordinary promise is in Revelation chapters twenty-one and twenty-two.
