would be God Himself.‖ How beautiful it is to know that Christ will be everything we will ever
need or want in heaven, He will truly be our fulfillment.
Conclusions:
As it has been explained earlier, our living in heaven will be totally the opposite of our life
here on earth. It will be a life full of peace, love, light, and many other blessings. Most of all
nothing will separate us from the presence of God, and Satan will have no existence. So our
goals in life should be heavenly ones or ones that will prepare us for eternal life. God said,
―Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto
you‖ (Matthew 6:33), meaning that if we focus on preparing ourselves to living in heaven, God
will automatically fulfill our earthly needs. Preparing for our life in heaven means for example,
that if we know that we will live in unity with the believers in heaven, then we need to make
peace with them on earth and learn to forgive each other. Also, if we do not know how to praise
or appreciate worshipping the Lord, then how will we join the angels in heaven?! Finally, if we
are used to profanity here on earth, how will you use that same language in heaven?! The moral
of this lesson is that we learn about living in heaven so that we would prepare ourselves to fit
heaven‘s environment.
Applications:
Read the book of Revelation to learn more about the end of this world and the quality of
living in heaven.
Focus on your heavenly life versus your limited life here on earth.
Pray that the Lord may count you among those who will enjoy living in the heavenly
Promised Land.
