What does the Bible really say about...

In three words, what exactly is ETERNAL LIFE?

TO KNOW GOD Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. (John 17:3)

 Mind-blowing (1 Cor. 2:9; 2 Cor. 12:2-4)  Better Than Here (Phil. 1:23; 2 Cor. 5:8)  New (Rev. 21:1-2)  Beautiful (Rev. 21:2, 9-12, 14-21)  Eternal (Tit. 1:2; Matt 25:46; Rev. 5:13)  No Curse (Rev. 22:3)  No Death, Pain or Tears (Rev. 21:4)  No Darkness (Jn. 3:19; Rev. 21:23, 25)  No Evil (Rev. 21:27)

What questions do YOU have about Heaven?

First, some warnings...  No one knows everything 100% (except God)  Be careful  Few clear Bible passages  Loads of opinions  Be gentle  God’s Word -- not human speculation -- is supreme

What happens when we die?  No one knows everything 100% (except God)  Most theologians:  Judgment of faith (Eph. 2:8-9, Tit. 3:5)  Believers immediately in Jesus’ presence in “Intermediate Heaven” and unbelievers in “Intermediate Hell” (Lk. 23:43, 2 Cor. 5:6-8, Phil. 1:23)  Final Judgment for believers determines heavenly rewards (Rom. 14:10-12, 1 Cor. 3:13-14, 2 Cor. 5:10, 2 Tim. 2:12, Rev. 2:26-28, 3:21)  Unbelievers face Great White Throne Judgment (Rev. 20:11-13)  Ultimate destination of believers: New Heavens & New Earth (Rev. 21)  Ultimate destination of unbelievers: Hell (Rev. 20: 11-13)

What’s the deal with the rich man and Lazarus?  Read Luke 16:19-31  What can we learn from Jesus’ words?

Will we eat and drink in Heaven?  No one knows everything 100% (except God)  Most theologians: “Yes, but for enjoyment, not for sustenance.”  Read Matt 26:29  What can we learn from Paul’s words?

Will we recognize each other in Heaven?  No one knows everything 100% (except God)  Most theologians: “Yes”  Read Matt. 17:3-4

What’s the deal with the Millennium?  Read Rev. 20:1-8  Postmillennial: Christ’s Kingdom is spreading throughout the world and God’s justice will prevail across the Earth before Jesus’ return.  Premillennial: Literal 1000-year reign which will start immediately upon Jesus’ return when he wins the Battle of Armageddon. Redeemed Jews will govern the world with Jesus. The Millennium will end with a final rebellion and the old Earth will be transformed into the New Earth.  Dispensational Premillennial: Rapture occurs prior to Tribulation and both occur prior to Jesus’ final return to Earth.  Historic Premillennial: Rapture is inseparable part of Jesus’ single return to Earth after the Tribulation.  Amillennial: Not a literal 1ooo years nor a future state. Rev. 20:3-7 is happening right now as Jesus’ church reigns with him over the earth.

What about us here and now?  Read Matt. 4:17 and Colossians 3:1-4  What do these awesome words tell you?
