1. To lead us to a greater desire to be in Heaven with our God. 2. To gain a true, Biblical understanding of Heaven.

There is only one expert on the topic of heaven, and that is God.

The only true perception of Heaven is what God reveals to us through His Holy word.

Postmodernist Postmodernist - No distinct view of Heaven because all views are correct. Postmodernism preaches tolerance as the highest virtue. Therefore, there is no one objective way to go to Heaven. (studyjesus.com)

Postmodernism - Truth is manufactured, not revealed. - Denies the reality of absolute truth. - Delights in the seed of doubt. - Loves the “cultural argument” - All truths are relative and subjective. No truth can claim to superior or exclusive. - Christianity is viewed as an enemy. - The only real sin is being controlling, exclusive, or judgmental.

Postmodernism Christianity claims to be exclusive. John 14:6, Acts 4:12 There is a broad and narrow way. Matt. 7: There is a broad and narrow way. Matt. 7: Wise and foolish man. Matt. 7: Wise and foolish man. Matt. 7: Belief in Jesus as the Messiah. John 8:24 Belief in Jesus as the Messiah. John 8:24 Repentance and perishing Luke 13: 3, Acts 17:30 Repentance and perishing Luke 13: 3, Acts 17:30 One true Gospel. Galatians 1: 6-9 One true Gospel.

What is heaven like to you? Beautiful or drab? Crowded or empty? Stagnant or busy?

Three heavens mentioned in the Bible 2 Cor. 12:2 1. Home of the birds “firmament” 2 Cor. 12:2 Gen. 1:6 2. Home of the stars, the “heavens” Gen. 1:6 Heb. 12:22, Rev. 3:12 3. Home of God. Heb. 12:22, Rev. 3:12

John 14:2 Heaven is a real, actual place. John 14:2 Heaven has inhabitants right now.

To understand what it is like in heaven, you have to have an understanding of the nature of God. 1 John 4:8 God is love1 John 4:8 Psalm 136:1 God is mercifulPsalm 136:1 Omnipotent Titus 1:2 -God can not lieTitus 1:2 2 Timothy 2:13 -God can not deny Himself2 Timothy 2:13 Omniscient Omnipresent

Heaven is the home of God. God chose the word “father” to describe Himself. - Guidance - Counsel - Security - Affection - Authority

Heaven is the home of God. God is our Father. 1 John 3:2, 2 Cor. 6:17-18, Gal. 3:26-27 And heaven is His home. Deut. 26:15, Eccl. 5:2, Daniel 2:28, Matt. 5:45, 48

Heaven is the home of Jesus Christ Light of the world - John 8:12 The resurrection and the life - John 11: 25 The way, the truth, and the life - John 14:6 Jesus is there – John 6: 38, Col. 3:1-2, Heb. 9:24 Is that comforting to you?
