What are the five things Christians should know about heaven?
Heaven is a mysterious place for most people, even for Christians. So in order to help them understand it better, Pastor Ed Young of Fellowship Church in Grapevine, Texas has offered his thoughts in a sermon entitled, "What in the Heaven is Going On?"
"Everybody wants to know about heaven, and everybody wants to go to heaven," said in his sermon, And because heaven is such a wondrous place where Christians get to be with God all the time, the enemy is doing whatever he can to keep people in the dark about it.
"The Bible gives us just enough information about heaven, "Heaven is a real place. Heaven is a place of outrageous and contagious joy. Heaven is a place where we will be with Jesus. Heaven is a place where we'll continue our purpose forever and ever."
Facts About Heaven.
1. There is the location of heaven, which is "much closer than you think." It is a real and tangible place, which is very "close."
2. Heaven is going to have a huge population where people worship not just in singing. "Worship is everything we do, say, touch and feel. As a believer, you don't come to Fellowship to worship; you come worshiping... So everything we do in heaven will be an act of worship," he explained.
3. The next fact is people's occupation in heaven. Whatever people enjoy doing in this world, whether it be writing, creating, or building, Young said people will continue to do so in heaven. "We are made to accomplish things, we are made to have goals,"
4. There will be communication in heaven, and people who know each other here on earth will recognize one another. People will also be reunited with their loved ones in heaven.
5. If people make it to heaven, then "we are very, very, very right." John 14:6, "Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'"
