LIVING IN HEAVEN
1.Everyone will live in a body that others in Heaven recognize
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am
known.
1st CORINTHIANS 13:12
2.Everyone’s body will be the same type as the body of Jesus has in heaven
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall
be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 1st JOHN 3:2
3.People in their resurrected bodies can eat food as Jesus did in his
Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord. Jesus
then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise. This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.
JOHN 21:12-14
4. Even in the heavenly body, the spirit of the person still dominates their being
It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And as we
have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. 1st CORINTHIANS 15:44
& 49
5.Life in Heaven is different than in the world because
of no
limitation of time, gravity or space
Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear
of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors
being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. JOHN 20:19 & 26
6.Resurrected, or heavenly bodies do not grow old or wear
out, but are eternal in nature
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. 2nd CORINTHIANS 5:1
7.The limitations and imperfections of the yet unredeemed earthly bodies of Born-again Christians cause believers to long for a completed work in their spiritual
being
For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: If so be that being clothed we
shall not be found naked. For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of
life. 2nd CORINTHIANS 4:2-4
8.Not only is the spiritual body long lasting, it is everything glorious, fit to be in, even in Heaven
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. ROMANS 8:18-19
It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. It is sown in
dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power. 1st
CORINTHIANS 15:44 & 43
9.The earthly marriage covenant is superceded by the Love for God
and all the saints in heaven, each becoming as the angels of God
For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
MATTHEW 22:30
10.There is Singing in Heaven
Sing, O ye heavens; for the LORD hath done it: shout, ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest,
and every tree therein: for the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified himself in Israel. ISAIAH 44:23
And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders….. And I saw as it were a sea of
glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps
of God. And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of
saints. REVELATION 14:3 & 15:2-3
11.Learning about God and His Kingdom never ends. It is begun on
earth and continued forever in Heaven
For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 1st CORINTHIANS 13:9-10 & 12
For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall
wipe away all tears from their eyes. REVELATION 7:17

Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall
dwell among them. REVELATION 7:15
