Presentation transcript:

God’s Eternal Home God’s children long to see His face! (1 John 3:2) Heaven is God’s home, the place we associate with Him (Luke 15:18; Matthew 6:9; Gen. 24:7; Deut. 26:15) God is omnipresent, yet heaven is His dwelling place (1 Kings 8:27-30)

Beautiful Beyond Words If the earth is God’s footstool, imagine how beautiful His heavenly home is! (Acts 7:49) Scripture typically describes the beauty of heaven in symbolic language. (Rev. 4:1-11; 7:9-12; Isa. 6:1-3; Dan. 7:9-10) We must not allow the symbolism to overshadow the reality of heaven. Only unseen things are eternal! (2 Cor. 4:18) We desire heaven because we desire the Lord! (Acts 1:9-11; Psalm 73:25)

God’s Great Dream God desired a large family to love (1 John 4:8; Heb. 2:10; Eph. 2:6-7) Despite the cost to Himself, God devised a plan to justify and glorify sinful men, enabling them to become His children! (1 Cor. 2:9; Rom. 8:29-30) He predetermined to have many children like His Son! He would call them, justify them, and glorify them! (2 Cor. 3:18; 1 John 3:2-3)
