WHY I BELIEVE THAT HEAVEN IS A PREPARED PLACE FOR PREPARED PEOPLE!

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE TELL US ABOUT THIS PLACE CALLED HEAVEN? Heaven is a definite place (John 14:2; Matt. 5:16; John 3:13; Acts 1:11; Eph. 4:10). Heaven is a prepared place (John 14:2; Matt. 25:34; 2 Cor. 5:1; Heb. 11:10, 16). Heaven is a place of security (Matt. 6:10). Heaven is the place where God and His angels dwell (Matt. 18:10). Heaven is the inheritance of those who are righteous before God (1 Pet. 1:4).

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE TELL US ABOUT THIS PLACE CALLED HEAVEN? Heaven is a beautiful place which God has prepared for us. Rev. 4: 2-11 Heaven is a spiritual place (1 Cor. 15:50). God's throne is located in heaven. 24 elders will be around this throne. Heaven will be a place where the inhabitants are constantly breaking forth in songs of praise to God and Christ (4:8, 11).

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE TELL US ABOUT THIS PLACE CALLED HEAVEN? Heaven is a beautiful place which God has prepared for us. Rev. 21:1-4 Heaven will be a place where God and man will dwell together forever. It will be a place where tears, pain, death, and anguish will be done away with. Rev. 21:9-21: John gives us a figurative description of heavens beauty and grandeur. Rev. 21:22-26: Heaven is a place where there is no night.

HOW CAN I BECOME AN ETERNAL RESIDENT OF THAT HEAVENLY PREPARED PLACE? Jesus said some people will not be there because they were not properly prepared: Those who call upon His name, but fail to obey Him totally, will not be there (Matt. 7:21). Those who do many great things in Jesus’ name, but fail to totally obey Him will not be there (Matt. 7:22-23). Those who hear but never act upon what they heard will not be in heaven (Matt. 7:26). Those who fail to minister to the needs of others will not be in heaven (Matt. 25:41-46).

WHO WILL BE HEAVEN'S INHABITANTS? HOW DO WE PREPARE TO GO THERE? By being totally obedient to Christ (Heb. 5:9; Jn. 14:6; Acts 4:12; Rev. 22:14). We must: Believe – John 8:24. Repent – Luke 13:3. Confess our believe in Him before men – Matt. 10:32-33. Be baptized – Mark 16:16. And then remain faithful to Him until death so that we will receive the crown of life eternally in heaven with Him – Rev. 2:10.

ARE YOU PREPARED TO SPEND ETERNITY IN HEAVEN WITH GOD, CHRIST, AND ALL OF THE RIGHTEOUS OF ALL AGES? Is your life right with God; have you obeyed Him; or do you need to change so that you are prepared to spend eternity with Him?
