One of the greatest promises God makes the believer is the promise of eternal life. There are 422 verses in the Bible that talk about Heaven. So, what do we know about Heaven? We don’t have a lot of time in this short episode, but let me give you a few things:We will be a part of a huge multicultural praise and worship gathering.I love the picture we see in Revelation 7:9-10 - “After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.”Not the number of people – “A great multitude no one could count.”  Notice the variety – “from every nation, tribe, people, and language.”Our suffering will be completely removed forever.Revelation 7:15-17 - “Therefore, they are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them.  Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst.  The sun will not beat upon them, nor any scorching heat. For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water.  And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”Heaven will be the absence of so many things that trouble us here on this earth.  There will be no tears…no death…no sorrow…no pain…no night…no defilement…no curse…no stress…no bills…no traffic…no relationship problems…no disappointment…no fear…no worry or anxiety…no goodbyes…no health problems…no strife or arguments…no money problems…no sin and…no devil.Heaven is a place of where we have the privilege of serving God day and night.We often think of heaven as a place of eternal rest, and in one sense it is.  Forever we will be free from the worry and struggle of earthly pursuits.We cannot forget that rest comes from being in the presence of the Lord.  But this does not mean that heaven is an idle place.  This would be a contradiction in the character of God.  I believe God is a productive God and he has created us to be productive people, here and in heaven.Before we go, I have the responsibility to tell you something very important about Heaven – and that is – not everyone is going.Revelation 21:27 - “…only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life.”Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people. You have to make your reservation in advance.Today’s Challenge: If you are a believer, rejoice today that you have the promise of eternal life. If you have not placed your faith in Jesus, today God is calling you to place your faith in Him.
