Hello, I was wondering if people could list the positive hopes of heaven in the bible, and not our hopes etc, that we have to look forward to. Such as, no more pain or suffering, but more than this. What is heaven like, or the new earth kingdom, what do we do? etc, thanks.
Great question - Much More, According To The Scriptures, the
Heavenly 'hopes'
for us, the Body Of Christ, Eternally Saved By '
Grace through faith':
"But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered
into the heart of man, the things which God Hath Prepared for them that
love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for The Spirit
searcheth all things, yea, The Deep Things of God." (1 Corinthians 2:9-10)
1) Eph 2:6-7
"And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places
in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come He might shew The Exceeding Riches
Of His Grace In His Kindness Toward us Through Christ Jesus.
2) 2Co_5:1
"For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved,
we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the
heavens."
3) 1Co 15:51-54 (also Rom 8:11;
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)
"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall
all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last
trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised
incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put
on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption,
and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to
pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory."
4) Rom 8:17 ( also Eph 3:6; Gal 4:7; Tit 3:7 )
"And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if
so be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified together.
5) 1Co_3:14
"If any man's work abide which he hath built
thereupon, he shall receive a reward.":
6) 2Ti_2:12 "If we suffer,
we shall also reign with
Him..."
7) 1Co_6:3 "Know ye not that
we shall judge angels?..."
And
probably Much More we don't know yet, but
will find out when
we are taken to heaven ( not sure what it's like, but )
Best Of All:
we
shall be With our Blessed Redeemer/Saviour, The LORD Jesus ♫ 😇 ↑
Thanks for asking this Great Bible
study question.
Amen.
