WHAT WILL WE DO IN HEAVEN ?

Beyond the Gates of Splendor – Unveiling Our Eternal Purpose

Have you ever gazed at the vast expanse of a starlit sky, or witnessed a moment of breathtaking beauty, and felt a profound sense of longing for something more? Deep within the human spirit lies an innate curiosity, a quiet yearning to understand what awaits us beyond the veil of this earthly life. For those who hold to the promises of Scripture, this curiosity often centers on one glorious destination: heaven.

But what will we do there? Is heaven an eternity of disembodied idleness, floating on clouds and strumming harps? Or does the Bible paint a far richer, more dynamic, and purposeful picture of our eternal home?

This book invites you on a journey of discovery, a quest to explore the biblical teachings that illuminate our future existence in the presence of God. We will delve into the scriptures, not to satisfy every fleeting curiosity with speculative answers, but to uncover the profound truths and vibrant hopes God has revealed about life with Him. From the moment of our arrival in His glorious presence to the endless ages of joy, service, and growth, the Bible offers tantalizing glimpses into an eternity that is anything but static.

Prepare to explore themes of awe-inspiring worship, joyful reunions, and the perfection of our very beings. We will consider what it means to serve God in His heavenly kingdom, to learn from His infinite wisdom, and to experience the fullness of community with saints and angels. We'll marvel at the descriptions of the New Jerusalem, the restored creation, and the ultimate consummation of all things when God is "all in all."

While the full magnificence of heaven undoubtedly surpasses our current comprehension – a reality hinted at by the Apostle Paul who described it as things "no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined" (1 Corinthians 2:9) – what God has chosen to reveal is more than enough to fill us with breathtaking anticipation and profound comfort. It’s a vision designed to inspire our lives today and solidify our hope for tomorrow.

Join us as we step, with reverence and excitement, through the scriptural gateways to better understand what awaits us, and what we will do, in heaven. The journey promises to be one of wonder, encouragement, and a deeper appreciation for the magnificent eternal future prepared for those who love Him.
