For too many Christians are far too comfortable with life on earth and don’t desire to be with Jesus in Heaven. We should allow difficulties to cause us to lose our taste for earth and crave to be with Him.
There are so many misconceptions about our eternal home. It’s often beneficial to step back and look a little more closely at what the Bible has to say about that place.
Since Heaven will be perfect, will we have a perfect knowledge when we arrive or will we enjoy the experience of continuing to learn in our heavenly home?
If you think that Heaven is where we will simply float on the clouds in an endless worship service, and if you find that idea appalling, join the club! I’m so glad that the Bible doesn’t teach this untruth. The Biblical presentation of Heaven is so much more appealing!
Friend, if you are a Jesus-follower and cannot find ultimate fulfillment here on earth, that’s because God has prepared you for another place, a New Earth!
